Yes, they do, but i use tiny jewelers tools for lots of things.
A Screw Extractor Can Save the Day
One wants to tighten bolts tight enough so they won't come
loose. However, if the bolts are tightened too much, they
could break. There it is, a bolt broken off, with none of
the bolt threads remaining above the surface. How do you
get the broken stud out?
A screw extractor will do the job. A hole is drilled into
the broken stud, the screw extractor is placed into the
hole, and the screw extractor is tightened in the broken
stud with a left-handed motion. The reverse threads on the
screw extractor back the broken stud out of the hole. It
would be better to have a screw extractor set on hand than
have to rush to buy a screw extractor when you need one.

Epoxies
Epoxies are a somewhat mysterious class of material that
home repair enthusiasts should be familiar with. They can
be used to bond, fill, patch, and repair a wide range of
materials. Typically they come in two parts that must be
mixed together, starting a chemical reaction that yields a
tough material that can be cut, drilled, or sanded when
fully cured. Epoxies come in a wide range of consistencies
and curing times, and the one you choose depends on your
project. One common application in home repair is the
filling and repair of rotted windowsills. Rather than
remove and replace sills, they can be repaired in place
with epoxy fillers and sanded and painted to match the
original. Repair and rebuilding of decorative trim pieces
is another application for epoxies when replacement parts
are not available.

http://www.athome-tv.com episode 102 I saw an incredible tool.
You've seen the simple mitre box and back saw. There's an electric miter
box version of this. You can cut 45 degrees. Well, combine this with a
radial arm saw and you have a "rail saw". Add dual compound to that and
you have the next grade up.
Dual Slide Dual Compound Mitre Saw is the final evolution of this. Makita
makes it and it's $699. Now, that's some tool.
