I'm in the market for some bike tools and top of my favourites list is the cheapest set on eBay, followed by the next cheapest etc. etc. etc.
When I look at almost all comprehensive bike toolkits I can see that I already have most of the tools but better quality. Even with this wastage it still looks like a better option than buying individually but I'm not convinced.
Generally I am happy to buy a cheap tool first and then if I use it enough to break something buy a good tool. Trouble is I see most bike spanners are quite thin, are the cheap ones as bad as they look and if so how do I spot a good one without paying Park Tools prices?
It's a shame that all bike toolkits seems to include a load of common tools I already have.
