I wouldn't buy it at that price, especially given the current dollar/pound exchange rate, but since I'll be needing to pack a few tools with me when we all tootle off to The Gambia next year, I'll be using the list they provide as a starting point to make up my own kit. However it does help that I already have most of those on the list, and a tool roll which I seem to have acquired
will take most of these.
Items missing include a chain splitter, valve core tool, and tyre levers, and probably a few more I can't think of at 1 a.m.
Can't see the wheel spokes they mention though...

I considered it but it is expensive and ordered instead a Motion Pro trail tool and a tyre iron with 24mm socket at one end, from Adventure Spec. The addition of a couple of small bits will enable that lot to do the work of the one on Ebay for a lot less money

I know I am not technical and all that ...
but hasn't the seller given away his secrets? You can make your own kit up now by taking that photo down to Halfords etc and pick your own set??
You can upgrade certain parts and downgrade certain parts to match your budget?
No?

But you have to get off your arse to do that, pay the $ and almost no effort is involved

I've the special tool kit the do for the X Challenge. It's suppose to be all the tools you need.
It was an impluse buy at a discounted £80.
Neat very compact and to good to get dirty ;-)

TBH I wasn't that concerned about duplicating the contents exactly, but was just going to dig out enough bits and pieces from what I already have to do the same job. Now that you've found that separate ratchet head, I find myself very tempted though...

Is that the version for the 1200 or the 800?
If it's for the 800 I'm really going to need a big pair of panniers...

I use the motion pro tool from Adventure-Spec.
I have supplemented it with a few male and female torx screws specific to the 800 and my Leatherman. That's it. I can do pretty much most jobs on the side of the road with that lot. It's also tiny and weights nothing!
