Howdy folks!
I volunteer as a safety marshal; for various cycling events in my area - New York City Century, Jersey City Ward Tour, Five Boro Bike Tour, Bike MS New York City, Tour de Bronx, etc. Part of my duties - do repairs on bikes that have broken down along the route/road. Usually flats...
@duneslider are the tips of your tools ball end, or straight? I'd stick with the straight end.
Pretty happy with my old Craftsman T handle hex set(Bondhus?). Had to sell that(along with a bunch of other tools), when we moved from a 2K sq ft house(w/ a 400 sq ft garage) - to a 1 bed condo. Later...
Flew from NJ(Newark) to MO. Was picking up a new electric car - saving us $5K with local dealers. Packed some questionable and larger tools in our check-in. But smaller tools, in my carry-on. Didn't want to go overweight, with our check-in. So flat/plug kit, breaker bar, scissor jack, etc. - got...
Thanks for posting the various types. I should have clarified - I already knew I'd need more than one type. One exclusively for electrical work - Klein, Milwaukee - another for "other" stuff; furniture, household items, etc.

Danke/Thanks, @Nobody-named-Olli

The Vessel model I see for sale is insulated - a bit pricey.
I already got the Klein bits - for electrical work. I think I'll pick up the PB Swiss bits -...
Milwaukee calls it ECX, Combo for Klein, Wiha says Xeno, etc. I'm looking for a Japanese equivalent.
From Vessel, Anex, KTC, etc. Was looking at Vessel's site before - couldn't find it. Prefer just the bit.
Have too many screwdrivers already.
Thanks, folks!
Re: Road trip took kit
I ordered this a while ago. I really like the design and good biting bits.
But can't get used to the shape of the handle.

Was just there last month. We stayed in the downtown area, had a lot of fun.
A part on my bike broke. Even though I brought some tools with me; I didn't
have a 3MM hex/allen. My bike still worked; but I was concerned the piece
may get worse while I'm riding. I tried looking for Sears; locals...
