I think it makes sense to spend some time learning some of these, especially the ones that you use on a regular basis. Those you ought to have a lot of familiarity with and understand how to use them....
Jeff brings up a good point as well in terms of not necessarily depending on these tools, but learning more about your craft after time. That's part of being a professional. Understanding what makes sense, what is appropriate, and then when to use it. And, of course, how to use those tools.
You said it quite nicely.
