All what you’ve mentioned above are common words.
Despite being synonyms, each of those words has different shades of meaning even when refers to the same object. I could roughly group them into several clusters as follows:

道具 / 器具

They lay stress on direct human manipulation, typically fulfill their purposes by (wholly or partially) being handled freely and physically. You’re correct that 道具 is the most widely used word for almost any kind of tools, though I hesitate to use the word for something not handy at all, like supercomputers or jet engines.

Since 器 carries a connotation of «vessel», 器具 gets along better with implements that serve their purpose while staying put. (Of course, they might well be portable when not in use.)

A notable feature of 道具 is that it’s the only one among all these words that has figurative meaning.

他人を道具として使う utilize others as tools

用具

It doesn’t have complicated nuance (just «tool»), but has somewhat odd grammatical status. If you translate it literally, it should be «tool-for», and could be paraphrased in Japanese as ~用の道具. If you see a 用具入れ, it must be a box or cabinet stores «tools for X» (X = writing, drawing, cleaning, or other specific purposes) but not a multi-purpose toolbox as a 道具入れ is.

機械 / 器械

These words are for mechanical instruments, but the two are usually not interchangeable. 機械 must have «clockwork» components that work in irrelevant way to the physical force people have input. If it lacks them, however precisive it be, it will be called as 器械. Thus, many machines today you press buttons to start up are 機械, and 器械 is relatively less used in regular life.

The sphygmomanometer in your example is a genuine 器械, but if it started to speak and automatically give a health checkup, I’d rather call it 機械.

Note that, however, 器械 can stand for gymnastics apparatus. It’s a fixed terminology.

装置 / 設備

They mainly tell that it is a stationary equipment works by its own. The devices people usually don’t casually decompose or detach, say, air-conditioners or GPS systems, are typical examples of 装置. 設備 means some big installations built in to the building.

The entire building serves as a facility is not 設備 but 施設{しせつ}. And «device» in wearable devices often doesn’t fit the sense of 装置. We usually call those techie «devices» simply as デバイス.
