Hey Guys,
Need some help with bike tools. I just bought this tool kit.

I would like to take my chain off, remove the cassette, service the bottom bracket and maybe service the hub.
Are the any other tools that is not included in the above kit that i may need?
I email them and they suggested i look at this

Looks like you might already have a crank puller - it's the thing in the bottom left corner above the metal ring-shaped object that is otherwise known as a unversal spoke key. If it doesn't fit, then by all means spend the $8.
While on the "universal" spoke key, those things are very easy to damage your spoke nipples with. I'd recommend getting the proper Park Tools one.
Otherwise, that Bike Hand kit will get you there for home workshop use for most jobs. I bought one similar from T7 a few years ago and it gets heaps of use. Just ask Hans
