You can get away with some tools cheap as mentioned above - it's probably better to have the cheap ones to hand first and just upgrade as necessary. You'll spend a fortune on park (overpriced as US made) and still end up with huge gaps in your toolbox for things that only need using occasionally so quality isn't paramount.
For example, I got the large lifeline set a few years back and whilst there are some shitty bits, many have proved to be great (only replaced the chain tool, pedal/25mm box spanner, chainring bolt tool and spoke key, the rest has been golden).
Get some reasonable quality all-purpose tools like spanners/pliers etc. from halfords to go with it and job done.
Can I also add this to the mix? Reason being that they were recommended to me recently as being of particularly high quality for a 'selection box'.
