A few hundred for good tools is nothing when you look at the $$$ value of the guitars that get listed in signatures here. A new nut is $20 for insurance. Comprehensive books on the subject (and lots of others) are $10.
"I'm not comfortable with doing it" is 100% legit. "It's too expensive to get tools" is silly if you've got thousands of dollars worth of gear, especially if a single setup starts to run up towards $100 in your area.
