trim shears is a good time saver - get a crisp edge - so you save time sawing and sanding the rough edge.
Detail grouter - if that a thinner grout float those are useful for getting behind toilets and awkward places like in between sockets that are very close.
Parrot nibblers - essential for nibbling little bits off tiles.
Worth having all of those - not sure about the scraper - dont know what that is.
