With regard to cycling specific brands- Park Tool, Pedros, Feedback, Spin Doctor, Topeak, and more- all are brands that I own in some capacity and find value in, based on each tool's intended use.
My wrenches, hex tools, torx tool, torque wrench, and screw drivers are all from hardware stores. I havent come up with a reason so far to have purchased any of those from a cycling brand.
What I wouldnt do is buy one of those preselected kits. A lot of money for stuff you may never need. I prefer to buy tools as I need them though.
