You should include the case for the price.

Tools appear to be of good quality. They're expensive (like most parking tools). But they work. I've marked them as average because - other tools work just as well and - they should come with a good case for the price.

Pros
  • Hands free operation
Cons
  • Not the best

Cheap plastic shell, best drive head set

This set should come with a storage case for the price. The included plastic shell is of poor quality and uncomfortable. It would be great if Park Tool respected their products and were kind enough to ship the case for free at this price.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Can't remember

Two stars for blatant exploitation of advantage

Park Tools seems to be exploiting its position in the market by offering less than it could, at a much higher than reasonable price. 37 bits for $150 is unreasonable. The entire storage system is ridiculed. If I could find an alternative to Park Tools, I would. I don't like how they work.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Some issues

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Cheap packaging and poor quality

I really appreciate the quality of Parktools and I don't mind paying a high price for it. This socket set is a real disappointment, firstly it only comes in a box and not in any carrying case. It also lacks quality components and looks like they were made in China at a discount. Come on Parktool, you can do better than that!

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Something different

Everything you need and nothing more

If you don't jerky much with your bike or bikes, this set will likely exceed the needs of most DIY enthusiasts. Plain sockets and hex bits can be purchased for a fraction of the cost as part of regular socket sets, but what is unique about this set is that you get pretty much all bike related sockets and bits (except for the very small 2/2.5) . /3 mm), and no more. The long bits allow you to reach all the screws, and the flat sockets eliminate the risk of damaging the suspension by rounding out

Pros
  • Sockets & Socket Sets
Cons
  • Non-Automatic

Highly Recommended Good for hand tools

This is what you need if you work with bikes at all. These are the perfect machines and they have all the socket sizes you need and all the hex sizes above and including 3mm. I have no idea why on earth I needed a 16mm hex in the first place, but the Park tool helps me when I need it. This set is expensive but worth it. Many reviews mention the lack of a case, but I don't travel with a set that big and it comes in a very nice plastic organizer that has the same dimensions as the inside of the…

Pros
  • Tools and housewares
Cons
  • Slightly dented

Decent quality, slightly outrageous price

I'm torn about this set. In general the instruments are of fairly good quality. Certainly better than anything you could get from most Chinese-made tools, but still lacks the finish and refinement of high-end tools (snap-on, mac, etc.). Not sure I would call it professional "bought" quality. For the price it should come with a proper carrying case - the plastic tray that comes with it is very tatty. It's WAY too big to fit in anything other than the deep drawers of your tool box. The fit of the

Pros
  • Hand Tool
Cons
  • Vanish
