Good work, so to speak. Even I don't have some of those tools, such as the hook and pick set. I'm sure that if I had them, I'd find a use for them. 
I've been collecting bike tools since about 1975.
You'll want individual allen keys, too, for when the jack knife version doesn't get into small spaces. They're very cheap. I buy several at a time, because I lose them over time.

I've seen torx bolts twice on bikes - once on a crankset and once for third generation Campagnolo ergo levers. They're rare and if you encounter them you're probably better off buying just the size or two you need (assuming a good hardware store, not Home Depot/Lowes).
