I went a very inexpensive route on my tool kit.
I use a pair of model tweezers from my local hobby shop. $2.00

I use regular scissors and an old root hook I found in my garage for re potting.
Cheap chopsticks and/or bamboo skewers are great for working soil into the roots as well as checking soil moisture
And some plain old pliers for working with wire.
Prices are usually lower when you purchase it from a store as opposed to online.
