it looks more likey you've actually made a mistake in your typing

the command

PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/tools/bin:/tools/sbin

does set PATH to contain /tools/bin and /tools/sbin at the end.

try it on your own command line, put the line

PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/tools/bin:/tools/sbin

then echo $PATH, and you'll see that tools is at the end.

its more likey you've made a typo, or something in your own personal config 
that is over riding your PATH
