toolset
Mechanic's portable collection
A toolset is a collection of tools assembled for a particular purpose, whether physical implements or software applications.
Programmers speak of their toolset when describing the languages, frameworks, and utilities they use: The company's toolset includes Python and React.
The term emphasizes tools as a coordinated group rather than individual items.
