Wrench Tool kit suggestions

[SandyLS]

After all of your helpful suggestions I wanted to let you know that this is the tool kit I bought for my son-in-law. It was half price last week. I sure hope he learns how to make good use of this. I could use a good low cost bike mechanic at times.

I say keep an eye on Chain Love too. The Pedro's kits have been showing up a lot lately. They have a big one that I think goes for around $80 that is awesome. I want one so bad. No clue what will become of me when I can't mooch tools from my roommate.

ooh, just gotta say - I broke my rear derailleur wire on my way to work yesterday (which meant 30 km with only 2 gears, oh, my aching thighs) but it also meant I got to use my spanking new Park Tool wire cutter when installing a new wire yesterday evening. Oh my... Plink! and a perfect clean cut and no squashed wire ends. Gotta love good tools!

How did your son in law like the kit?

Thanks for asking. Son-in-law seemed to like the tools really well. He changed his pedals this morning and said it went good with his new wrench. I got to see the tools in person today. They sure seem to be sturdy. I think I'd need a class to figure out how to use most of them though. Son-in-law was talking today about doing just that. Sounds like a good idea to me.
