Chuck,
I've been really busy moving lately, but this post really made me
laugh, after reading Jay's responce. Chuck, you're PRICELESS, and I'm
quite sure you will master the leg pulling tool very soon. Looking
forward to it!
Just bought another Campag tool kit the other day, but alas there was
no leg puller in this one either. Pergs, I want my money back!! ;-)
Brian Baylis La Mesa, CA OK, enough goofing on the list, back to work for me.

Yeah, I've been collecting classic Italian bicycle tools from the mid
1930s and came across this Campagnolo tool called a "Tenditore del
Piedino". The seller informed me that this was the beyond rare
English threaded version that he didn't even know existed as he was
only familiar with the Italian, French and Swiss threaded versions.
I bought it but never fully understood what its purpose was (my grasp
of the Italian language is non existant unfortunately) and only the
other day found out what it meant: "Tenditore del Piedino" = leg-
puller. Funny, me of all people, never noticing it right there in
Catalogo Campagnolo!
Anyway, I decided to try it out for the first time today on the CR
list. It takes a little practice to use the Campagnolo Tenditore del
Piedino correctly, so I'm not quite there yet. Just wait till I
truly master the finer points of the correct use of a Tenditore del
Piedino. Then the fun begins...
