the chainwhip is worthless, but everything else is ok for occasional use. if you can, save up and get park stuff...

It works fine. I've used mine countless times, even the chainwhip. Of course they aren't the greatest tools, but if you are going to only use them occasionally, it is a great value. I've saved tons in LBS repairs with this kit.

The worst part is the BB tool. YOu have to use a MONSTER sized crescent wrench to turn it. It can be done, and ive done it, but recently i bought the park tool, tool instead.
