FWIW, tools add up. To rebuild one bike you will need a chain tool, freewheel tool, cone wrench set, cable cutter, crank set puller, pedal wrench, lock ring tool, BB fixed cup tool, BB adjustable cup tool (there are several different styles), spoke wrenches, HS wrenches.

If you replace your bottom bracket, the tools you use to remove the old one will be different than the tools you use on the new one. Same for the freewheel.
