Hellooo, it's an emergency toolkit. You want $$$ tools to carry with you all the time? Go ahead and spend $300 if you want, heck even $500 for 100% american made.
This kit is good enough for me.

How come no one has metioned a hammer?!?!
Wouldn't be without a 16 oz. ball peen...will fix anything! LOL!!
I only buy US made tools! The cheap stuff can't be counted on to do anything but take up space in the saddlebags!!
When you need to repair a broken clutch cable isn't the time to find out those 'cheap' locking pliers have a weak spring and won't stay closed!!
I like the setup in the Snap-on Kit. Will have to hound my dealer for a 'poor biker's discount'!!

Plus 1, rode 170 miles with one on the throtle to get me home rather than wait two days for the shop to open up. Also a guy I know always has a straight claw hammer with him, good for prying as well as pounding and makes a hell of a weapon.

I like the idea of a small ball peen hammer. I am going to add it to my kit. I use a canvas travel/shave kit (with the zipper on top) for a tool kit. It holds plenty of tools and supplies, is durable and fits good in the saddle bag.
BTW, cheap tools are out of the question. If I am broken down on the side of the road, that's when I need to depend on a good set of tools to get me going. Don't know where the 3-5 hundred dollar price quote came from. A good set of tools can be had for a lot less than that!

I've been using the stock kit that comes with the bike. It works, but I have been adding to it. Sparkplug socket, 3/8's rachet, allen head sockets, multi end screwdriver, stop loss pump, bailing wire, chewing gum, ductape, electrical tape, bible (keep it wrapped in fresh underwear, just in case. I can pray for a miracle, like "I hope this is just a rash", or ask for forgiveness, "I'm so sorry, I missed... my aim isn't always that good..."
ok enough jokes. I would look seriously at the snap on kit though, and supplement that in the aforementioned canvas shaving kit. I know the tools I am carrying along with a shift lever, and peg have kept me on the road. good idea to have the clutch/brake lever as well. I may need to pick up that red neck metric set pictured above made by the vise something or other company.
