Tool Kit

Hey,

I searched for a thread such as this, but I couldn't find one. I was looking to buy a bike tool kit, and looked into some at my local shops, as well as online, but just can't afford those prices on my tight budget. Today, I was in Target, and spotted this, but I decided not to get it. Instead, I went with these two sets from Home Depot, HDX Plier Set (5 PC) & HDX Ratcheting T-Driver Set (31 PC).

I figure that these are good, basic tools to have on hand for all sorts of bicycle repairs.

Anything I am missing?

Did I get a good value on these two sets? Are they good sets, will they keep for a long time etc.?

Thanks!

p.s. My newest repairs on my list are to replace my MTB pedals, as well as the brake lines. Any tips/suggestions? I plan on using my new tools, too!

p.s.s. I'm just dissapointed they weren't pink. LOL! The only thing I am missing is something to carry them in. Suggestions? Please, keep in mind that I am on a budget. Thanks!
