I was about to go the ebay route to find one of those elusive little critters, when I stopped by my local bike shop with a photo of said critter. The mechanic, with hair the same shade of grey as mine, started rummaging through his tool bin. A few minute later he pulls out, you guessed it, a NOS, genuine, Stronglight crank puller. He didn't know what to charge, so he charged me the price on the tag attached to the part, $7.00+tax. The tool is probably older than all the other mechanics who work there.
