I went to my local REI at lunch. As a member, they will charge $40 front and $40 rear. Looks to be a better deal than buying all the tools, though eventually I'll need a bleed kit.

That's interesting stuff. What catches my eye here is the diagonal shear action. Plus how quiet it is. Steel can be deafeningly loud to cut, but you get used to it.
