Honestly, return all that stuff unless it is a Metric Allen Wrench set that is Husky brand. Go get a quality multi-tool such as a Crank Bros Multi 17 or Topeak Hexus II. I have literally built entire bikes with these things at swap meets.

Crank Bros Multi 17:

Heck with as much as you are spending you could get this:

If you have to go the Home Depot Route, besides your screwdriver set, what you actually need is:

and

That should get you most tools you need besides a patch kit and tire levers. That would be a good start. Do not buy a bike pump from there.
