Most of my tools are pretty standard among what you have listed above. I do keep an old pair of shop shears similar to these:

I use them to cut foliage back whenever I need to. I don't bother with new ones because, especially if I am dealing with insects or rust or whatever, I disinfect them with a mild bleach solution.
The other tool that I love. LOVE LOVE LOVE, is my Wilcox All-Pro long handled trowel. I bought it on sale from Hostas Direct but they seem to be out of stock. They can be a little hard to come by sometimes. I plan on order others for general use around the garden (weeding etc) because they are fantastic.

I use this to dig and divide daylilies in areas I can't adequately get to with a shovel. Heck, I have also use it to clear ice from gutters and remove ferns and periwinkle vine. The thing is a beast - still as good as new! It's been abused my me, the weather, and even peed on by my dog (
) and you wouldn't be able to tell!
