It's not a bad toolkit but I personally wouldn't buy it... A decent ratchet wrench with Allen, torx, screw driver heads and sockets will cover the same in the kit, using the ratchet wrench makes things a lot easier easier. You must have a spanner to do pedals. Do you need a crank puller or Isis tool, they are still used yes but most bikes use external or pressfit bb's these days. The HT2 tool, chain breaker, cassette tool and chain whip are useful but can be bought individually for not a lot of money... check out crc, Merlin, etc.

I would suggest a decent torque wrench.

Linky no worky.

I'd have to agree with miceden. Bike toolkits tends to have a lot of things you might not need unless you service a few different bikes with different kit.

Just buy the essentials to suit your bike and save some cash for other things.

Not sure, a few extra bits - do you need them though? Can always add to the other of course.

No. its almost twice the price for few extra sockets a screwdriver bits.. also i think they count the piece differently!

mike hunts alpine

Suppose so.

I have the one SS linked to and it is sold under different names all over the place. It's all decent stuff. Mine was £30 and it was good value at that money, at £24 it's a no brainer.
