Never seen a detail sponge. Doesnt mean its not useful, just I havnt had cause to use one as yet...
 
parrot nippers very useful kit for sizing holes in tiles etc... the rest are gimmicks as far as i,m concerned..never needed them in all these yrs so wont bother now...
but as most things you dont know if there useful until you try them..so each to there own...:grin:
 
gundlach scraper a very good tool use it all the time, parrot nippers
handy now and again but a must have, trim shears (45degree plastic trim cutters) put in the bin with the trim,

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.
