As a boy growing up, both my dad and my grandpa had workshops full of tools. I have inherited much of them today. Many of them are not used very often (some have simply been replaced by new methods and technologies). I still have them, and there is comfort in knowing they are in the cabinet if I get the desire or have the need to use them. Mostly, I use a few trusted tools. My camera bag is much the same.

I like to keep things simple but I also like the options of a couple of different tools to spark the creativity and innovative approach every now and then. Quite a contradiction right there I guees. Basically I like the idea of 'listening to the image' and then picking your tools based on what the image tells you. In many ways this probably also depend on your mood on the day. Ultimately, like you say, we all tend to settle with a one or two or three routines and then occasionally go off the path to try something new when we feel like it.
