>>1686708there are a lot of tools, like fixed cup removers, star nut setter, and bearing presses that you are best off making.
The quality versions of them cost literally hundreds of dollars.
Look at RJ the bike guy for ideas for most of these.
There are also a lot of tools, like hex keys, screw drivers, and spanners, hacksaw, etc, that you are best off buying non-bicycle specific versions of, because you get more for your money. Like I would highly recommend a set of wera metric hex keys if you're gonna spend on 1 high quality tool.
Others, like freewheel removers, campag tools, even cone spanners, many people will never need to touch the tools you'd get in a comprehensive set or just through acquiring everything. You probably will only ever need 1 13 and 1 15mm cone spanner, plus a 17mm regular spanner to do hubs. But a big set will give you meme sizes.
