I have the Cruz Tools - RTTD1 which fits nicely in my tear drop tool box. I like them so I would expect the EKH1 would also be nice. I don't know anything about the Windzone set.

Thanks for the replies...I'm leaning towards the Windzone kit, Pricewise, I think its a good deal...not like I'll be using them all the time (I hope). I had a problem the other day with my plate mount and had nothing, if it wasnt for another biker stopping and offering tools, I would have been screwed, don't want that to happen again

I've got the Windzone kit. The quality isn't awful, and the stuff will do what you need it to do.

I've got the Cruztools kit, not sure which one, but it's meant for the teardrop tool case. It's a nice set but expen$ive. Also, it's a bitch to get it to fit in the toolbox. It just barely fits.

I bought the WindZone on E-Bay. Has just about everything you need for emergency repairs or quick installs. For the price,, I like it.
