Park, I had bad luck with my spin doctor stand, plus the tools worn out quickly. Unless also for general bolts and screws and installing pedals, get a set of snap on or craftsman tools, they do wqork much better than the wrenches and screw drivers park or spin doctor provides, the only bike specific tools that I use when at work or at home are bb puller and cone wrenches, and chainbreaker, freewheel remover and tools to measure tension. Headset press, and chainwhip are homemade. The wrenches and screw drivers are quite weak from park and spin doctor. Also look into a good set of allen wrenches, which are long and don't have the bend, but has a knob, both metric and nonmetric. The ones with the bends can slip out of your hands and nail you in the face.(I'm sporting quite the black eye to prove that.)
