It tends to be highly valuable for mechanical tools like these. Think of this product more like hardware (nuts/bolts/screws, not PC hardware) than a standalone "product". Most people who have a shop or do a lot of tinkering keep an assortment of misc hardware around just so they have it on hand whenever the need arises. This falls into a similar category, so having a grab bag to be able to handle whatever potential scenario you run into would be incredibly handy.

Who are you kidding?? This isn't minor hardware...these fittings are ~$5 a pop! Priced individually: | Fitting | Price (ea) | Qty | Total | |---------|------------|-----|-------| | T | 3.34 | 12 | 40.08 | | 90 | 5.79 | 4 | 23.16 | | 45 | 4.95 | 4 | 19.80 | | 180 | 4.95 | 2 | 9.90 | |=========|============|=====|=======| | 22 | 92.94 | In contrast, the bundle lists for $88.10...that's a lousy price delta of $4.84 (approx. 1 fitting). In consumer hoodwinking terms, it's the equivalent of buy-21-get-1-free...except the "value proposition" comes at a cost of zero optionality and overweight T fittings. If you've got the cash to burn on benchstock at this price point, more power to you, but the point is you're really paying a premium to throw away choice for the illusion of value with this bundle.
