Yeah, I'm generally disappointed in Park tools that aren't bike-specific. And their floor pump is straight garbage! The Pedro's set is pretty decent, FYI. Also, to the board at large, you can redress a rounded or broken Allen wrench by incrementally grinding it on a bench grinder (use the side of the wheel to get a flat edge and quench in water very frequently) or using a flat file with the wrench clamped in a vise. Just got to be careful not to lose the heat treating by removing too much material too quickly and overheating the metal, or else it won't retain square edges for very long.
