That's too expensive. It's the same as the Aldi kit, which costs normally £19.99, though I got mine for £9.99 when they had it on special offer. Some of the tools are not the best quality. The chain-breaker broke the first time I used it and the spoke key doesn't fit very well, so you round off the nipples when you try to tighten them. None of the tools are special for crank-drive kits. they're all just the standard tools you get in a bike tool kit, I just found this blog showing the Aldi kit, which you can see is the same for £9.99, which is about the right price for it considering the quality:

Even the Halfords equivalent is only £34:

Woo... was going to buy that same kit from the fleabay for £45, but now that d8veh has pointed the equivalent kit in halford, might as well get that one, which, from the outset looks more sturdy!

Although you can split quick links easy sometimes by hand I just purchased one of these

I hate chain breaking tools and have two. Now its quick links all the way and these that make the job so easy and clean.

I tend to have built up tools as and when needed and try to go for better quality than some of these tool kits.

When I was doing a conversion for someone I used the money to buy one of these.



Mines the middle one. I had cheaper ones before but any stand will transform how you work on your bike and in my opinion should be your first purchase bike tool wise!

PS Fordulike love your avatar. People say that is what I have when I am riding my Brompton!

That's interesting. Each to their own. I'd rather knock out a rivet with the chain-breaker than mess about with those joining links. I guess it just depends what you're used to. Mind you, I don't have those special pliers.
