Tools Part 2

As I've mentioned in the previous post, I often find myself using just a bunch of the tools I've bought/made.
I've posted three different sculptures made using almost exclusively two tools with the intention to show you that you won't need (at least at this level) a lot of tools to get the job done.
Let's start with the first maquette, depicting my version of a yeti

Sculpting tools

I've taken sculpting as a hobby about a year ago.
Starting as a layman the first thing I did was watching every youtube video I could find on materials, tools, techniques and such before making any purchase decision.
I ended up buying Super Sculpey and Super Sculpey Firm only to find out later that I didn't like them that much.
The tools I bought first were http://www.amazon.co.uk/Colour-Shaper-Black-Tip-Clay/dp/B0043GWDQ6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1429091689&sr=8-2&keywords=sculpting+tools+silicone and http://www.amazon.co.uk/Royal-Langnickel-RSET-POT4-Ribbon-Cutter/dp/B0018TQC6S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1429091739&sr=8-1&keywords=sculpting+tools+royal.

Why am I telling you this? Probably because I could have saved a lot if I knew what to expect and, right now, of the 13 tools in the two different set, I'm using only three or four.

So, in this first post, I'm going to post a photo of the tools I find myself using the most
