Otherwise an outstanding investment. Nearly complete for all maintenance and many repairs on any type of bike, this includes enough tools that you would likely spend twice the money or more assembling the kit piecemeal. There are a couple items missing however, which are easily added for small $$. Most notable is the lack of a shop hammer. Park's hammer is good, or you can find the equivelent at most hardware stores a medium weight mallet with one metal surface and one rubber. Also missing are lubricants and solvent. Bearing grease is provided, though.
If you add a repair standPark Tool Team Race Stand PRS-20 and truing standPark Ts-2.2 Truing Stand to this, along with the hammerPark Tool Hammer-4 Shop Hammer, lubricants and solvent, you will be ready to do full disassembly/reassembly type overhauls along with many repair jobs. (links are my recommendations any equivalent is fine)
If you are a stickler for wheel maintenance, you may wish to add the better dishing guage found at the link below, but it would be a luxury addition, as there is an adequate dishing tool in the kit. Park Tool WAG-4 Professional Wheel Alignment Gauge
Highly recommended if you are looking for a complete kit.

Great tool kit. You can almost open your own shop with this kit. Tool box that it comes in is pretty weak. The shelf in mine was broken when I received it, but you can't beat this deal on all of these tools. I have already used the derailer hanger alignment tool, headset press tool and many others. You can't go wrong with Park Tools to work on your bike.Best Deals for Park Tool Professional Tool Kit - PK-63
I was in the need of some bike tools, and I didn't want to piece together a bunch of tools so I started with this kit. The picture & tool list isn't correct on Amazon's website, but it is correct on Park's website. I'm very pleased with my tools. Ken in SeattleHonest reviews on Park Tool Professional Tool Kit - PK-63
Tools are rather cheap looking and feel cheap also. One piece was damaged because everything in the tool box was allowed to bang around inside, loose. Another had a manufacturing defect, where is the quality control?Several items were "Made in China". Park Tools gave a lame excuse for using China for some of their tools.
Come on, Park...there are plenty of good inexpensive MADE IN USA screwdrivers! The hammer was made in China also and looks like it too. Crescent wrench is from Taiwan, again there are plenty of good MADE IN USA wrenches! This wrench also is finished with knife edges around the jaw, very unsafe to use. These tools look like they came from the Dollar Store.
A couple of the other tools have KNIFE EDGES on them also, how about making them safe to hold in your hands?!! Tool Box is next to worthless, you end up having to throw your tools on top of other tools in the box...how about a metal tool box PARK?!! Blue "ruler" is hard to read as the numbers are the same color as the ruler, this too has sharp edges.
Amazon's list of tools and picture are different then what you get. There are several discrepancies on this list and that is unacceptable. I would return this 'kit' except it would cost over $90.00 to ship it back.
