Hi all,

Dunno what brand those tools are but what I learnt after buying lots of cheap tools is that the cheap stuff uses soft metal and they don't last. I reckon you're best to price some of the quality brand tool sets from different shops, spend a bit more and get some good tools. I bought a sidchrome set. You can also buy individual tools and sockets for the good brand stuff 

Yep, get out of Bunnings and head to Total Tools or somewhere simular, they will help you with a good start up kit.

+1 here....  Sidechrome, Stahlwille, Kinchrome (my set)

Sidchrome these days, conditional warranty. Repco tools are lifetime warranty. I have alot of Repco tools (missus works there) and haven't a problem. Total tools, well they have cheap and good quality. 

most of my tools are sidchrome [these are around 44 years old]and get used every day and still fit/work welll.i have a sprikling of stahlwille,proto,kc,repco,t&e and kinchrome to round out the kit and these also do the job well.as my living depends on reliable tools i'm pretty fussy on what i buy.if i was looking for good economical home tools,you wont go wrong with t&e,kc,repco and kinchrome,sichchrome are still up there for me but their warranty is not what it was,and is bettered by some other brands.theres no denying snapon are the goods...but shit they're dear....paying for the name,even for trade use.stahlwillie are also a bit on the pricey side,but fine tools all the same.minimax also made good hand tools at a good price,but i dont think they're are still available today.cheers.

Snap On all the way. Buy once cry once (well maybe cry a couple of times haha.....)

I've got a mix of Kinchrome, Stanley, el-cheapo can't remember brands, Supercheap/Repco brands, whichever I needed when I was doing something, or saw something on sale. 

looks like they are Kincrome from Bunnings. for what you are going to do they will do the job you don't need snap- on to flip mirrors

If your just going to do just the odd job now and then, then the crap Bunnings sells will suffice, the odd mirror, general servicing, and exhaust system and I'm sure these cheap tools will do the job,  but life is long and your tools follow you everywhere throughout your life so I think its wise to invest a little and get something that you will be glad you bought in 25 years time, any brand name will do,

I visited Supercheap recently and I was surprised at the quality and feel of the tools, I was after a cheap spanner that I was going to modify to fit a specific application, they had a box of miss fits, leftovers etc $1 each, bargain,

Nothing wrong with Kingcrome gear mate.

Buy the best tools you can afford that will suit your needs, you don't need to buy the best of the best to do maintenance on only your bike. If you were on the tools for a living (and got tax deductions) might be a different story.

JBS are OK I use them a lot at work.

The Supercheap ones are actually not bad, I have a couple of sets of the combination spanners at home as they were on sale.

Enjoy learning :)

Cheers

Bunnings sells KinCrome and Sidchrome.  Both are fine imo. 

Your photos show Kinchrome. Their quality is good, the days of Sidchrome being the only quality choice are well over. The kits you are looking at have alot of metric tools as well, won't suit your bike but will be useful for jobs on most other equipment or machinery you may have. Buy the bigger kit, better value for money and being in a case you can just grab it off your shelf to take anywhere knowing that you have everything you need for most jobs.

Welcome to the Forum, always good debate and comments on here , a set for the road & odd jobs also very compact Snap on cycle set. Bunning's for the sausage sizzle !

For an imperial set you can't beat a SHORT STUBBY KING DICK.

consider some sort of bike lift, genuine workshop manual, quality torque wrenches

PLEASE PLEASE gentlemen. Keep it down will ya. Bloodog monitors this site.

I wont be spending $900 on a Snap on tool kit.

 Repco have some good tool kits on sale at the moment that are on clearance. just go into your local Repco and ask what Repco kits do they have on clearance. They are covered by lifetime warranty
Cheers

I bought crap, broke the crap, bought more crap *100 then only bought kincrome or better.  No more breaking shit - they just work.

No matter what tool kit you buy you'll need the tool you don't have anyway, so just get a good starter kit and buy them as you need them - best you can afford..within reason.
