The "long tail" on tools is very true, and something that took me a while to learn. I used to think I could get away with a smaller toolset of more general tools, and to just 'wing it' by using them creatively to solve the problem. But tools are a bit like OO classes: its better to do one job completely right than a dozen jobs not quite right.
