   Don't buy either, put your own kit together. All that stuff is a 
hodge-podge of junk you already have around the house. Example: double 
edge razor blade (broken in two) for feeler guages, Tiny screw drivers 
you file for a perfect fit, long hat pin for picking up reeds, jewelry/ 
or model cement for windsavers, reed wrench made from a fingernail 
file, cuticle scissors for snipping reeds, popsicle stick "Slips" for 
tuning. Rivets made from paper clips, and on and on (as nauseum).
