Looks like it covers the basics, except for a torque wrench (which not needed for groupset change). Pricey, though. This bikehand one has everything except the missing link pliers for less than half of the cost. This one includes a torque wrench and bearing press for 2/3 of the cost.

Also, KMC recommends against using submersing chain cleaners like the one included.

I bought all my tools a piece at a time the first time. The second time I was able to buy them all at once and found it was cheaper to get a full toolkit than buying one at a time. I got the Bikehand kit: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005KWRITO/ and it's worked pretty well so far. I haven't used every tool (and I'm a little fuzzy on what a couple of them are for), but generally, if I need a bike-specific tool, it's in that box. The exceptions being a torque wrench, which I've done without so far, and my wheel-building tools which, apart from the spoke wrenches, I had to buy separately.

However, if that's a lot to spend at once, most tools are not too expensive individually. I was able to buy them as needed without much trouble or (short term) expense. The only issues are that you pay more long term and the first time you have need for a tool, it's not already on hand. Not a big deal if you're patient. I'm not, and I use my bike for transportation, so having the tools before I need them keeps me mobile.

I prob. don't recommend either. Your friend's bike is probably very modern, and the tools like crank puller isn't needed. Your friend's bike isn't using square taper or Octalink. Also, the chain tool, pedal wrench and cone wrenches that comes with the kit are crappy and you'll have to replace them anyway, or close to useless.

So, the common maintenance - replacing chain, cassette, pedals, chainrings, brake pads and tires. If the bottom bracket (BB) is external bearings, you can easily change that too. The kit includes the square taper BB tool, and Shimano's external BB tool. I'd recommend the better adapters than ones in the tool. For example, if the BB is Hollowtech II, this tool works well. You need a tool for cranks' preloading nut and it's not standard.

If the BB is press fit, bring it to LBS. You'd need a removing and installing tool, and although you can do it, it's pretty specific to each style of BB. Again, it's better to buy the tool specific to it and the kit is no use for this.

Headset bearing - modern headset would be pretty simple to service. Wheel hub bearings - you'd want to use better quality cone wrenches than ones in the kit.

If you want a tool kit that can do most things for variety of bikes not just your friend's, I recommend this one. (see edit) Note that, this is probably overkill for your friend's bike but if you want to take care of older bikes, this one should cover 90% of things. (You'd need combination and adjustable wrenches, etc.)

Oh, one more thing. Buy a good torque wrench. There are a lot of alloy things on modern bikes, and to prevent stripping the screw, using torque wrench and tightening to spec is very important.

EDIT: Why I recommended the toolkit. The chain tool in the kit is excellent. The chain plate holding side is adjustable so the chain stays in place while pushing pin. Cone wrenches come in each size. The cassette removal tool (lock ring tool) has the pin in the middle to align. The headset wrenches (your friend prob. don't need) come in all the sizes needed. (I had to buy 36/40). It covers most external BBs.

Because of our conversation and looking things up in my Zinn book, I almost just bought this:

But, I'm talking myself down from that for now. Gotta save something for Christmas! lol

I'm just going to buy the spoke tool for now. If I can use the extra chain laying around and automotive tools, then I'll try disassembling the hub and inspecting the grease. Thank you for helping me.

I understand the "don't buy a kit" mentality that others in this thread are suggesting but sometimes it's nice just to buy everything in one go, rather than piecing things together one by one. I did some research a few years ago and ended up grabbing this Bike Hand kit ($129) We've had it since ~Dec 2015 and it has held up well so far. The tools seem to be pretty high quality and it's nice to have a box to keep everything in. The box itself is also great – heavy duty plastic exterior with a metal tray inside for organization. Hope that helps!

Something similar to this? I have no shame in announcing that I'm pretty ignorant to brand quality in this arena.

Hi!

yea I was looking at park tool kinda pricy at $250 and judging from reviews the tools materials don't seem to be worth the cost. Was looking that this set http://www.amazon.com/BIKEHAND-Complete-Bicycle-Repair-Tools/dp/B005KWRITO/ref=sr_1_9?s=cycling&ie=UTF8&qid=1383183286&sr=1-9

Thoughts?
