Been using that one for about 4 years. The chain splitter broke straight away but other than that it's been faultless.

It'll be ok as long as you have 'older style' kit (sq taper BB etc).

If you do break some of the tools you use more than others then you can always replace them with somethign more substantial as the need arises.

I would check that the things you have on your bike will be ok with the tools in the box, though. You may find you don't need a lot of the tools (like cone spanners, BB tool etc) and that would drop the value down a bit.
