Why can't I access the hidden tools in Edit Toolbar?

I needed to use the Spiral Tool in Illustrator CC 2019 23.0.3 today, and it wasn't available on my normal toolbar. So I clicked on the 3 dots at the bottom of the toolbar, and found that every option is greyed out and I can't access them. Can anybody tell me why?

      Since I posted this, I found that I was looking for the tool in the wrong place. Thanks! Problem solved.

      okay... 
      Because they are hidden behind other tool (with an arrow)
      I thought I could customize the toolbar by dragging Tool in osn out or rearrange them. 


      For that you need to start with a new toolbar.
