Wondering if there is any official or at least common agreement on what skills can be assisted with the masterwork tools.
HeroLabs allows you to select Acrobatics, Appraise, Bluff, Climb, Craft (any one of them), Diplomacy, Disable Device, Disguise, Escape Artist, Fly, Handle Animal, Heal, Intimidate, Knowledge (any one of them), Linguistics, Perception, Perform, Profession, Ride, Sense Motive, Sleight if Hand, Spellcraft, Stealth, Survival, Swim, and Use Magic Device.
I'm not sure how they came up with their list. Besides which, I kinda disagree with some of it. There are already:
Masterwork Artisan's Tools for the craft skills.
Saddle for ride.
Fins and snorkel for swim.
There are Kits for Disguise and Climb.
Also, I'm having trouble imagining 'tools' for some of the others.
So if there is no semi-official list, what have you folks used?

I suspect many of them should be specific to what you're trying to do with the skill. For example, Diplomacy might benefit from posh clothes, a bottle of whisky or a megaphone depending on circumstances. Likewise Perception might want a telescope, an ear trumpet or decongestant.
Some of these are really consumables rather than items, but if each dose is cheap it comes to the same thing.
Some skills like Sense Motive and UMD are a bit problematic.

It’s all of the skills that there are in the game, unless there are some cryptic additional ones in Unchained.
FWIW I have a character who carries chef’s knives (+2 to profession cooking) and a very expensive fishing rod & tackle (+2 to survival related to fishing).
