I'll echo Stevo. That is a fine list. The only thing really lacking are the crazy headset tools- and the bike coop has those available.

A friend has one of the Nashbar kits, and the tools are very crude compared to my Park Tools. They work, but they aren't particularly robust. The entire kit is on sale for as little as $40-50. That's about the price of a Park chainwhip and crank puller.

I pieced my set together over the years. Some of the wrenchs (not cone wrenches) can easily be purchased at the hardware store far cheaper than through Park, yet are much better than Performance or Nashbar house brand.

Torque wrench? I've never seen a shop monkey using a torque wrench... which I find interesting.
