This seems like something that would already of been suggested, but I don't know for sure, so I'm going to suggest it anyway. It should be possible to craft blocks of obsidian into tools for you to use. They would be similar in strength to diamond, but somewhat more powerful.
Obsidian Axe - Cuts any wood-related items down like a diamond pickaxe through netherrack.
Obsidian Hoe - Simply lasts longer than a diamond hoe.
Obsidian Pickaxe - Would cut through stone like a diamond shovel through dirt. Would also offer a quick way to mine more obsidian, because I doubt there is anyone who hasn't become annoyed at the time it takes to mine obsidian.
Obsidian Shovel - Will destroy clay quicker.
Obsidian Sword - Would have a devastating attack that would kill anything but Huge Slimes in one hit.
And of course all tools would last far longer than diamond tools.
This would be to over-powered. It is so easy to get obsidian any way.
I think they should be weak(iron) and slow like stone, but it would last 2x longer than diamond tools.

It's an idea that's been thrown around by many-a-minecrafters, however it's highly unlikely to ever be implemented into the game for obvious reasons.
It's overpowered (even more so than diamond tools), It's impractical, and most of all It's even more overpowered than diamond tools.
Also;
IT'S MORE POWERFUL
THAN THE ALREADY-TOO-POWERFUL
DIAMOND TOOLS.
Aside from the the tl;dr ramble (^above), I disagree with your suggestion.

That is a good theory.
