That's handy info for those who wish to buy a kit but in my experience kits always fall short in some area .
I think it's better to buy the best tools from each manufacturer based on experienced advice that suites what you want to do . That way you cry once .

Totally agree John.
I bought a Range Rover in the 90s for that reason.
Best money I ever spent

I ran into the same thing back when I started 10 years ago. All the kits seemed to be missing something or had stuff I didn't want or something. I ended up doing a mix and match with all sorts of brands. To this day I pretty much use a mix of tools from every manufacturer out there.

However for a lot of folks the kits are probably just fine and will at least get them started.

Have always avoided kits as some things included are crap.
Buying individual bits gives you better choices
