is a nice toolkit at a good price, but there is a lot of duplication , ie every common size of cone wrench.The toolkit includes various measuring guages, which i wouldnt use, and hex keys in triangle shapes, which may not fit easily in tight places.


Many of the general workshop tools can be bought cheaper and better elsewhere. I usually buy tools 2nd hand, since good ones are very expensive and last a long time. eg I have one 2nd hand 32mm wrench (=50cents) and one 32mm headset wrench (=$15), rather than the set of 2.

Parl tools are very good, but to start with you need a few special dissassembly tools(freehub, bb, cranks, chain tool), and some good cone and headset wrenches that fit your particular bike.
