I agree with this...

But not with this.
You don't need to get the most expensive stuff out there but cheap tools don't last, often don't do the job even once, and can damage your bike and even hurt you when they fail.
If you want to save $$ look for used but every knowledgeable wrench will tell you to buy the best quality you can afford...
Oh, and Go Gators!
