I've been acquiring special tools, as I need them. I only have two bicycles and don't intend to be changing cassettes or bottom brackets every month. So, I didn't want to spend premium prices for Park Tools, unless there was no other choice. I picked up an XLC Crank Extractor $3.51 (robust and well made) Cutter Cassette Removal Kit $8.38 (Whip Chain & Shimano Compatible Cassette tool) The only Park tools I have are 3 way Hex wrench and a 17mm/18mm cone wrench. Park tools are generally excellent, but over priced for my taste. If you go the non brand name route, I'd avoid Made in China tools, but find that Made in Taiwan tools, generally, are well made and reliable.
