Just a quick question, is the Spell Toolkit from Kobold press (Cantrip, summon any tool to complete a specific task, +2 to craft).
Is it specifically only for tools used for the craft skill? or are we assuming we can summon a grappling hook/drill/glass cutter/ladder/hammer/piton/crowbar/stretcher/etc?
Both are useful for gear light characters, but one is much better than the other.
If this is the very same Toolkit cantrip that's mentioned over here...
then by a very strict, more rigid interpretation by any hypothetical GM, it seems to only allow for a +2 on just any crafting skill only.
On the other hand, if said hypothetical GM allows or is willing to "homebrew" something similar to the Magic Trick feat, that Toolkit spell might be bolstered to allow for something similar to the Umbral Gear Rogue Talent. A possible prerequisite feat might be something along the lines of Create Wondrous Items or mebbe Illusory Mastery? ;)

The Spell does say any known tool into your free hand (So obviously limited to single hand sized items), and the craft bonus is on a new sentence, implying you make a tool to perform a task, and also crafting is a bonus.
My GM did say he is cool with it, as long as it is a single item, and not a "kit" like thieves tools, or alchemists kit, etc.I was looking at umbral gear for my archaeologist Bard, but minor magic (Toolkit), seems a much nicer tradeoff.

Glad to hear that you and your GM worked things out to the both of your satisfaction for that spell; Tis a thing of beauty when stuff like this happens and should be done more often (...as possible, probably keeping within reason too). :)
