Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

+100 on this part of Bianchigirl's good advice. Whatever savings you might realize in a tool kit purchase vs. loose stock will be offset by those tools you don't need or use, or that aren't appropriate to your bike.

Other than basic stuff which you probably already own, but only the tools you actually need as the need arises.
