Made a living using Snap-on tools for 20+ yrs, beat the heck out of those tools, they took the beating and came back for more. When I did manage to break one, the dealer was right there with a new one no questions asked.
If you are a home wrench, Craftsman will work just fine.

Two or three years ago I got this tool kit for something like sixty bucks on eBay.

My first observation...the tool kit is overly large to pack around. Get some heavy canvas and sew one up with pockets to hold everything from wrenches to pliers to a small ratchet wrench and ratchet screwdriver. Slip them in their respective pockets, roll and stash. Then make a small pouch with a drawstring and put a set of regular Allen wrenches and screwdriver bits in it. You can make another one for electrical stuff and spare nuts/bolts/clips/zip-ties, etc. I gathered all the tools from extras I had laying around in my garage. I've used it for over 20 years and it never cost me anything other than the original purchase price of about $100.
WARNING!!! Don't let your wife catch you using her sewing machine to make the tool roll and pouches.
When I get time, I'll spread mine out and post a pic.

I don't know if the one you are talking about is the one I have. But the one I have is in soft case shaped like a pistol case and it works great any time I am working on the bike I use it cost me about 250 fits in my saddle bag very nice

I finally found a picture of the Harley Snap-on Tool set. It looks pretty complete. I've been using Snap-on tools for over twenty years and I don't think you can buy a better tool. The quality speaks for itself. So the price may be a little steep, but you can't really put a value on having a tool work as designed especially when you need it most. Look for the same set on Ebay or a similar site.
By the way, I used Snap-on tools to put on most of the add-on parts you see on my bike.

What you are looking at is a set in the Bacho S series. Have a look at the similarities of this set.
http://www.toolmart.com.au/brand/bahco/s87-7.html
Bacho is a premium brand and make some of the best tools around without charging snap-on prices.
Bacho is the inventor of the adjustable wrench has been making professional tools since 1862 and does know a thing or two about tools.
But ...$200 for that box is what we here in England call "A RIP-OFF"

That's neither a Harley toolkit nor a Snap-on.

Yep, Snap-On is a great tool, but very high priced. S-K is just as good, and not so expensive. Craftsman is probably as good, at least their basic hand tools, but far more affordable. Take your pick.
I got a list of all the tools in one of those kits, and picked through my tools to make up a similar kit made up of a mix of brands. I put them in a couple of those small soft bag-like containers glasses come in, then added a small LED flashlight and a roll of good electrical tape, then stuffed them in my HD dyna tool kit that's bolted on my bike.
