Ok, I live in a city that doesn't have a bicycle shop and I only see bicycles around once in a while. I want to start a very small bicycle business out of my home for starters. I don't want to spend a fortune on tools, even though I can write them off as a business expense, I don't have that kind of cash flow for something that I'm not sure will completely take off. It will be more like a part time thing.
Right now I don't have a whole lot of funds to get it going and I don't want to take out a small business loan. I was looking at a couple tool kits for starters, and I'm getting a craftsman automotive tool kit I've wanted for a long time to help out.
I did the search and didn't find what I was looking for on the forum, so here I am.
I'm debating between a spin doctor tool kit, a nashbar tool kit, or super B. I just want to know which one has a better reputation and will hold up better. If you have other suggestions that won't break the bank, let me know!
