Well, that is the way I do real life things, get tools, then work.
Sometimes, the hammer is important. Rubber hammer? Metal hammer? Mini
hammer? Shoe maker hammer? One job, one tool, choosen by me, not by
other. And sometimes, one job with the wrong tool (cos you do not have
the right one or cos you want, yes, cos I want to use one tool and the
other).

Note: my personal way of doing things. Other may find nice to get the
full kit with tools... and also the thing completly built.
