I just can't justify how grossly overpriced Park Tools are. As a broke college kid, I can't afford to spend the ridiculous amount of money they ask for. I buy cheap tools (as many as I can general tools NOT bike tools) and replace them when I can afford it. Bike specific allen wrenches, socket wrenches, and screwdrivers are just a waste of money. Home Depot for 2 bucks a pop. I figure that I will get my money's worth and replace it when it breaks with something better when the time comes. Unless you are working on people's bikes for money, I'd say go with cheap at first. Who knows what specific tools you may end up needing, anyway.
