That is the right kind and will do you well. Not sure how much you wanted some of that other stuff, but that's okay. I mean 3 hackle pliers that are not that good, why would he do that? I say that because I have tried a lot of different hackle pliers and most just suck! Also I am sure one of the tools is a threader and I never use I use one of the plastic things people with a bridge in their teeth use to floss, but mostly I just stick the thread in the end of the tube and suck it through with my mouth.
