So even after paying for a lot of tools, you'll still likely have to buy some additional specific ones.
The toolkit I mentioned is only $40. A multi tool can run $25 or $30, so a full sized tool kit with a padded, organized carrying case for $40 is a good value no matter what for someone getting their first bike tool kit, which is the situation OP seems to be in.
