I also buy tools as I need them, this way I'm not buying a package deal getting tools I may never use or getting redundant tools that I don't need. I've done this with my automotive tools over the last 40 plus years, my home tools, and my bike tools, and I don't have a huge tool chest because of doing it that way. It's cheaper that way too. Keep in mind that some of your current tools will work on a bike, so there's no need to get a set just to have redundant stuff...unless you just like seeing tools everywhere and lots of them, I know a person like that but of course he has over 35 vintage and classic cars! but no bikes...LOL!! So he can afford a lot of tools and he's a gearhead, but the odd thing is, he doesn't work as a mechanic or do anything mechanical for a living, but he's better than most pro mechanics!
