Vintage BMW Motorcycle Owners

Hi there.

We are statring a small bike workshop for the local yoofs in the Crawley area.
I’ve been looking around for a set of tools to get us going and getting a bit lost as to what to start with. Is Park Tool stuff really the best kit to go with? If so which set should I get? I think we’re going to go for 2 stands and 1 set of tools at the beginning.
We’re on a budget as it's a charity thing so we want to get as much as we can for as little as we can spend.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

I'm totally baffled by these random posts from users who seem to think this is a bicycle forum? These guys are discussing which bicycle tools to purchase to open a bicycle shop.

Good.
