Re: [CR]Road find: The Ultimate Camapgnolo Seat Post Wrench

Hows this for a little sweeter deal. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=93791. $29.95 for 5 wrenches including the 10mm and they are very nice indeed. The swivel head is a must for seatpost (and auto) work. If this wrench had been available, I think the two bolt cradle type post might still be the standard.
