I would say that that depends. If you need different lengths/styles of a tool (like a screwdriver), you're going to need to pack more. We used a lot of one particular size of allen wrench and 7/16" nuts one year for EVERYTHING. That year we packed probably about 6 of that size allen wrench, two in each style we needed, since it was likely that two people would need to use the same one at the same time.

But if it's something one-size-fits-most, like a hammer...I would agree with PAR_WIG1350; 3 is probably too many.
