Good work, so to speak. Even I don't have some of those tools, such as the hook and pick set. I'm sure that if I had them, I'd find a use for them. ;) I've been collecting bike tools since about 1975.

You'll want individual allen keys, too, for when the jack knife version doesn't get into small spaces. They're very cheap. I buy several at a time, because I lose them over time.

Thanks. Would you suggest a hex set, and a torx set (just to be on the safe side)?

I've seen torx bolts twice on bikes - once on a crankset and once for third generation Campagnolo ergo levers. They're rare and if you encounter them you're probably better off buying just the size or two you need (assuming a good hardware store, not Home Depot/Lowes).

Great! Thanks!
