Hammerhand:
I find that just for basics you need:Yeah, I'm the classic "all the gear, no idea" bloke. I paid a fortune for a good set of golf clubs and the little round bugger just wont go straight for me!
what shall be described as pokers. (needle, toothpic ect)
blendering/smoothing tools (knife ect)
somthing to create sharp lines and detail (knife of some kind)
so really all you need is a toothpic and a bog standard hobby knife, Although I often feel more confident if im using some proffesional tools just because if I paid X amount for a tool it better make me X amount better!

Still, it looks like I know what I'm doing when I get to the 19th hole!
