I'm pretty certain the bearings on my MTB rear wheel are on the way out (lateral wobble), after having a quick read up online I'm thinking of having a go at it myself rather than pay someone else to. To that end, I need some cone spanners, a chain whip, a cassette removal tool etc etc, ideally for less than it would cost to get someone to do it. Am also keen to learn how to maintain my bike well myself (have learnt to index gears, true a wheel etc recently), so was thinking of a half decent little kit instead of individual tools. I've just bought a reverb this week so can't warrant a full park tools set as nice as that would be!
Looking at http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/TOJW30PCTK/jobsworth-p...

Or http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/mobile/x-tools-...

Or even http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/TOJW13PC/jobsworth-13p... if it has everything I need and won't fall apart as soon as I open the case!

Anything else worth looking at?

I bought the Jobsworth 40pc kit for £29.99 a week ago. Decent quality at that price but I wish I'd gone for the one you've linked to above, then I wouldn't have needed to shell out for (and store separately) an extra cable cutter.

I also have the Jobsworth, good quality at this pricepoint.

Parktools and ice tools also do bike specific kit.
