crank pullers - I have one of the ones with the attached handle, it's too short and not enough leverage. If you get one without a handle you can use a nice long wrench on it - or a ratchet ring perhaps.
Exchangable tips are a good thing to have - the one tool will cover many cranks this way.
fwiw - I'd look for something like this: https://www.coloradocyclist.com/img/p.../parsjcwp6.jpg

Looks like a Fixie crowd targeted thing..
plan: hook spanner, to loosen LH thread lockring,
+ chainwhip, to unscrew the cog,
+ for axle nut, an open end wrench.

Looks like a good deal: chain whip, plus lock ring spanner, plus pedal wrench for about what any one of these tools costs.

I have one. It's cheap and not terribly ergonomic, but it can be good for occasional use.

Is it durable? That is my concern, because of the cheap price I want something durable, if not I may just buy each piece individually, but for the price an all in one usage I had to ask.

Not a pro tool but a great deal for a budget minded person doing their own maintenance or maybe a support mechanic for a team on the road.
