I would  go to BnQ or robert dyas and buy some adjustable spanners , a set of metric spanners and a couple of screw drivers and allen keys , the tools in that kit are OK but are you going to use them all  to build a bike , then when you need something like a freewheel remover buy it then, this will be cheaper and you only end up buying what you need ,

if you want to get a link extractor and a headset spanner now they would be most usefull , but some of the stuff in that kit will be awaste

most bike shops will sell that lot seperatly , and prob be cheaper

you will build up a tool box that is usefull for other things as well , not just bikes

You also need a variable torque persuader (i.e. hammer) - the bigger the better I alway find  :daumenhoch:

What you need to start.

allen key set

hammer

block of timber

spanners

big adjustable pipe wrench

Pliers

couple of screw drivers

another hammer.


And most importantly:

Deck of fags.

crate of beer.
