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

Pass on these and all kits, and go over your bike and decide which tools you need and will actually use. Yes you save on tool kits vs. loose tools, but unused tools cut into any savings. Also by buying separately, you'll be able to mix brands and but the best value - quality/price - for each item.

Bikes change every few years, so many tools can rapidly become obsolete. Even something as fundamental as a hex key can be useless if your bike uses torx.
