Well yeah, that Ikea suggestion is kind of ridiculous. But you don't really need a full set either. Not every one of those 4-5 different types are used for just doing brakes and removing the wheel for cleaning or replacing the chain (basic maintenance and repairs). If you want to fully rebuild your bike, then you'll need more than 3 types, yeah.
