Packaged tool kit = Bad move.

Do a search, it has been discussed many times. Acquire only the tools you need, when you need them. Some tools (chain tool, cable tool) need to be good ones. Other tools, pretty much any brand is good enough. I have a $6 pedal wrench for example, but a $50 Shimano cable tool. You don't have to go that good on the cable tool, unless you plan to work on quite a few bikes (I work on bikes every week).
