Don’t buy tools until you have a need for them. Then you will own what you need.

Here's the tool they don't sell... knowing when a potential project should be contracted out.
There are plenty of jobs that you CAN do, and may seem small, but require specialized tools and "tricks of the trade" to get done right.
When you factor in the money to outfit yourself, time, which will be 5x the amount a professional would need and the extra costs to replace shite you break in the process or have to scrap/start over, some things are better to hire out.
I know you touched on this in your OP, but the willingness to hire out jobs does not always equal knowing when to do so.

Klein linemans & a pair of 420’s and you can fix anything.

Based on your post. The only tool you need is a cellphone. You can call and pay someone to make the repairs.
Don’t go spend $2k on tools just because.
