If your spoke broke at the hub and not the rim you can get by without the last 2 tools. If the spoke broke off at the hub, be careful not to allow the nipple to fall into the hollow rim, you will then need the stub spoke and magnet to get it back in place
The tools usually come with a new wheel set. You are right, it is a tricky procedure. I think I saw a YouTube video on it.
