I love it.

Without looking at the pricing on a bag of tricks, I'll say that I would prolly charge double that.

The sadistic trap thing is cool, but you can always use it as a cheap animal companion. Of course, they might not be as obedient as a magically bonded creature, but once you spank him a couple of times, he'll behave.

ANd then you can train it, give it a wrench, and use it to sabotage enemies.

I'd give it the same cost, with a 1% chance per use of getting the Avenging Monkey:
Base 4hd Awakened Dire Monkey (Medium), Half-Fiend Monk 5/Sorcerer6 (Fireballs!)

I assume you have some way to communicate with the monkeys to tell them to do all these things with levers, etc? Otherwise I believe all they can/will do is attack your enemies, just like a summon spell.

What if you accidentally pull out a monk, ey instead of a monkey? Or a Monkey (a member of the Monkey clan)?

This monkey business sure is complicated!

Sadly, only one monkey at a time, per the Bag of Tricks rules.

Which, of course, leaves the DM free to decide that it's the same monkey each time.

I think the monkeys are entirely too useful, based on Shayuri's description, and the item should be priced out at roughly 10kgp.

Oh. Wait a minute...

Sack of Monkeys, huh?

Sounds like someone's been watching the MST3K version of Pod People.

And if you haven't, you should.
