    For basic servicing such as cleaning change cassette and jockey wheels. I would recommend:

    masterlink/quick link pliers which are sooo much easier than doing it by hand. You should get a quick link if you don’t have one on your chain.
    Chain whip
    cassette tool – you will need a campagnolo specific one. Get one with a handle as it is easier to use.
    Metric allen keys

    That should cover the basic stuff. A chain breaker is handy if you are installing new chains yourself.
    Maybe a pedal spanner?
    these make life easier for installing quick links too

    With bike tools you do to some extent get what you pay for. I have a mix of Park for the stuff I use all the time) and some other cheaper stuff for bits I use occasionally cone spanners.

    however, the cheaper chain breakers and crank pullers do tend to crap themselves.

    Check out the Park tools website, they have heaps of instructional videos.
