Not in Action 1, no. Just First Aid and Crash kits. Note that the latter is 10 lbs, and gives +2 to First Aid for half the weight at the same cost as a Fine First Aid Kit (as well as providing basic equipment for Physician skill and improvised equipment for Surgery); so there doesn't seem to be a good reason for a Fine First Aid Kit at all.

Variety and quantity of tools, as well as specific other items (e.g. morphine over aspirin) are not the same thing as quality. Just seems like an inappropriate/confusing misuse of language and game terms.

In game terms either better made tools or more appropriate specialized could give skill bonuses. I don't think the action movie genre is well served by meticulous detail about exactly you have in a set of lockpicking tools...

The items for which quality affects weight applies are:

• Lockpicks
• Disguise Kit
• Bug Detector
• First Aid Kit
• Full Sized Digital Cameras

All of which seem to be big boxes full of stuff that it would be boring to specify, and for which having a variety of specialized tools could give an abstract bonus.
