2. Nobody makes the best of everything. I like my Park tools, but I've hated the Park cable cutters that I've used. I think that the Shimano bottom bracket tool is far superior to the Park equivlent - at least for removing a stuck bottom bracket.
1. Good point about unneeded tools, but the ak37 does pretty much have close to everything needed, including various lockring and bb tools.
2. I've only heard good things about Park cable cutters, and the 4 amazon reviews for them are 5stars.
