I'm not sure what "expecific" is, but it does seem to me that maybe you're taking the wrong approach. Penetration testing isn't about running tools...it's about getting information and knowing what to do with it...then doing it. Rather than looking for "an arsenal of tools to realize pen tests", maybe a better approach would be to look for specific tools to do specific things...
