Save a fortune in servicing costs!
Pros: Great Value, Attractive, High Quality, Lightweight, Versatile
"Do your bank account a favour, do most of your bike maintenance yourself! My local bike shop will hate me for writing this! With the LifeLine Workshop Tool Kit you can do all the basic repairs and maintenance yourself, and you can actually afford the tools to do it! This is just such a great value for money kit. My kit has already paid for itself ... in a very short amount of time.
The tools are good quality, the box is sturdy and has a spot for everything, and it has a few nice surprises like a magnetized bowl for keeping bolts etc safe.
Highly recommended.

Pros: Great Value, High Quality
"Great value product. If you total the full cost of each tool the kit constitutes a bargain.
I use it for everything as I maintain my bike myself. This kit, youtube and the odd exploded diagram from Shimano's website and it's bye bye LBS.
Admittedly I haven't used all the tools yet, but the main ones get used and, to be honest, at this value you don't have to make use of everything in the kit for it to be worthwhile."

Great basic kit
Pros: Durable, High Quality
"I am putting a bike together for my wife and after several moves of house and a long absence from bike building, I needed a new kit.
This kit has done 98% of jobs very well. Everything I have used has been well made and well fitting (no rounded nuts and bolts). The 2% off is because the kit is missing a philips head and flat screw driver, no big deal.
The person who put this kit together obviously had someone like me in mind, a home mechanic who wants to do the basic stuff themselves and have a go at the trickier stuff safe in the knowledge there is a good bike shop nearby."

"sqeaky brake blocks? strange rattling sound? broken chain link? then the LifeLine workshop is just what you need, no bike rider should be without this in there tool box, weather you want to repair, remove, modify or upgrade this tool kit has exactly what you need. As you come expect from LifeLine each tool is crated to a high standard and well thought out ergonomicly, a strong case keeps all the essentials in place and to hand, although it doesnt have every size or attachment on the market is has the majority of what you'll need to do the job, and it can pretty much do whatever job needs doing the only thing it ,do is expalin where that spare washer or nut cam efrom on the floor......"

Nice selection of tools
Pros: Durable, Great Value
Cons: few essential tools missing
"Brilliant starter kit for those wanting to carry out their own bike maintainance. The only thing i would say is a bottom bracket remover is missing from this which is a shame, otherwise everything else is there and do them job nicely!"

Superb Quality and Excellent Value
Pros: Great Value, Rugged, High Quality, Versatile
Cons: Not Enough Features
"Since I received my LifeLine workshop toolkit, I've not idea how I managed without it. It contains (almost) everything I need for the level of bike maintenance I am competent to work at. It could do with a small flat blade screwdriver and a pair of pliers (there's room in the case to keep them in there if you want add your own). The tools feel robust and work very well. Highly recommended."

"I got this kit for routine maintenance eg replacing brake cables and is perfect for those tasks. Good range of tools if not of professional range or quality. All you will need for all but major jobs and I got it at a reduced price!"

Good budget tool kit
Pros: Great Value
Cons: Wears Out Easily
"Great tool kit for the money, it seems to cover just about every job you would need to do to your bike yourself at home.
The tools work well and fit nicely into the hard plastic tool kit.
The only possible downside is that I dont see some of the items such as the cone spanners and large allen key lasting for ever as they do flex slightly when under a lot of force.
However for the money it is a great set and will cover most maintenance jobs I want to do on my bikes."

A good basic tool kit
Pros: Great Value
Cons: Not Enough Features
"As a basic tool kit at at good price this is a good choice. I have added a park chain measuring tool, a torque wrench, a set of ring/open metric spanners and a Shimano bottom bracket tool to make this into a comprehensive basic kit. It's a pity that the Shimano BB tool was not included.
I am not planning to get into wheel building as I think this is a job for a specialist with the correct expensive tools. My home workshop also includes a bike stand which is invaluable.
After a year I have used most of the tools in this kit several time and found them to be suitable for everything I need."

"All tools have the feeling they will last. Most things are here for you to carry out normal DIY bike maintenance. I have had to buy BB removal tool and freewheel removal tool these were not included in this set. The multi tool that comes with the set is a handy addition to the daily bag. The plastic box makes it convenient to sling in the boot when your out for the day. Safe in the knowledge that if something goes wrong you have the tools with you to fix or change parts."

"On first impression the tool kit is of good quality and in a good case where all the tools are neatly and tightly fitted. I am glad I purchased this kit and would recommend to those on a budget, without compromising on quality. Tools also get a good review on Bike Radar."

Good basic took kit
Pros: Great Value, Rugged
Cons: could do with a couple of more tools
"I bought this tool kit so I could do minor servicing to my 3 bikes, they say you pay for what you get?
However this kit is a starting point, all the tools are of decent quality, and do the job they are for, I will in time replace them with better quality as and when they need changing.
Comes in a sturdy, handy box that keeps everything in its place, good handle and fasteners to keep it closed as it travels in the back of my car.
I am happy with my purchase of this kit."

Perfect tool kit for the home mechanic!
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Attractive, Rugged, High Quality, haribo
"I ordered this kit on Sunday 31st at 12:11 and I paid the extra £3.99 for express shipping. It's is now Tuesday 2nd 10:10 and my tool kit has arrived! I never expected it to arrive as soon as it has but this morning I was greeted by the exciting "beep beep beep" sound of a delivery truck reversing down the drive. The CityLInk driver was cool as custard professional and polite he was carrying a parcel with "Wiggle" clearly printed on all sides. Inside the box was my much anticipated tool kit, all cosy inside its shrink wrapped plastic and rested against 6 blow up pillows (no messy white polystyrene balls to clear up). I was immediately impressed with the tool box steadiness and sleek LifeLine stamp on the top (Its not "flimsy" as one other review suggests). Inside the box is that brand new smell, coating well machine and thoughtfully finished professional looking tools. It was like Christmas!
All the tools look and feel solid. There is a few little genius touches too but I'll leave them as a nice surprise. Another review said it's missing a flat head and Phillips screwdriver - it's not. On the multi tool there is 6 Allan Keys, a flat head and a Phillips and a surprise.
I done ALOT of searching for the right kit and I settled on this. Yes Park is almost definitely gonna be better but it's equivalent is also £120 more expensive. So if you want everything you need to service, strip, rebuild and replace bits and bobs on your steed this will delivery. Fact.
I'm very happy, both with the tool kits price and quality but also with Wiggle's excellent service - I even got a packet of Haribo in the box!
Excellent.

Solid, as expected
Pros: Durable, Great Value, Versatile
"Few people mention that this toolkit isn't that strong and may not suit a heavy user, this may be the case for the spanners but everything else seems pretty well built, definitely would recommend for the price."
