I started off my toolkit with something similar and they are great. It might not be the highest quality but if things wear out then upgrade to good quality ones. The good things about these is they cover alot of tools you might only use ocassionally and you never really think about until you really need it and all the shops are closed!

Just looking at this image, especially the chain breaker, this one definitely appears to be lower quality. Lifeline isn't Park but then you're not working in a bike shop are yaz :)

I'm pretty sure I got that exact same toolkit in Lidl the last time they had cycling stuff in (summer). It does me fine for infrequent use.
Oh, and mine was a shade over £20 I think. So there!

Use that chain tool on an Interlock chain and see how far you get. So there!

I managed to push the pin the whole way out and spent an hour lining it up using the chainwhip to hold the pin and support the two plates. That, granted, could have been easier!

If you forced the pin the whole way out it wont stay in again properly. I wouldnt ride fix with that chain.

got my one today (wiggle one)
seems all fairly good quality, hard to say without actually using everything (just stuck my new pedals on, that's all so far).
i'm pleased - how often am i going to take a bb out and so on? park tools would be overkill for me!
Did a forum search and found a few references to this but nothing specific, email from wiggle this morning their tool kit is now £35 (Not sure how much it was before), seems like a good deal if the quality is OK especially as Hippy recomended it a while ago.
