On the subject of tools...
Park Tools has a discontinued tool section on their website. It's definitely worth checking out.

the 7 piece set probably comes in some sort of organiser, which will add cost.

I usually save up an order when buying from Pricepoint, so the shipping is no big deal. I paid $6.95 shipping plus $1.25 insurance for my last 21 item order, so that is 40 cents per item. And of course, no sales tax, so the savings on no tax can pretty much offset shipping on a larger order.
I have been using their tubes for a while ($2 each, tough to beat that price). I also like their floor pump with tripod base, which is on sale for $12 right now.
Like pretty much any of the internet stores, if you are looking for one or two items, the shipping will kill you (unless it is really high $$ piece). Best to save up an order.

I just ordered 2 full sets (individually). Total shipping was $5.95
They've extended the sale until 1/15/2009.
Considering the cost on these is less than half of our cost on Park, I figure I'll be doing good if they last half as long. I'm just going to use them at home, anyway.
