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

The other day my wife came back from her commute and showed me her latest road find, and I was blown away!

I've long been a fan of Craftsman tools, but this one was new to me. It's a 10 mm wrench, one end is a classic open end, but the other end is a ratcheting box wrench on a lockable flex hinge. Here's a Sears page describing it in detail:

That page is for the 7-piece set, but I presume it is also possible to buy the individual wrenches.

Harriet has classic Campagnolo Record seatposts on two of her bikes, the Bottecchia fixed gear she commutes on and her old Holdsworth road bike. Now she has the PERFECT tool for adjusting these excellent but awkward posts.
