My bad, I must have misread the OP. I have a WindZone tool kit that I've added a few things to for traveling. Like a needle nose, 6" adjustable, Loctite (blue), tire repair kit, pencil with duct tape wrapped around it, a 2.5" foldable knife, forceps, scissors, pair of disposable gloves and small wire cutters. It all rolls up in the included tool bag.

I have a tool pouch on the front forks of my bike that was on it when I bought it. Thanks for all the feedback everyone. I just put the tools into a plastic ziplock bag, rolled it up and everything fit nicely. Hopefully, it never needs to be used but, like others have said, better to have it and not need it than the opposite.

I'm trying to decide between the HD Tool kit and the Snap On one. What does anyone think is going to be the difference, besides the price?

$80 vs $200. Does anyone know the difference? Quality of the material or the extra goodies that we can really use?

I'd wipe them down with WD-40 every so often. My Jetski tools rusted but that is much closer to water. Now, I wipe them down every season and no rust.

I bought the Cruz Tools HD Econo kit. Has everything you really need in a nice pouch at a good price.

Oh, I forgot. A glasses repair kit. It comes in very handy.
