Re: [CR]Follow up to Mafac tool kit question

I've gotten three of these way back when purchasing two UO-8's and a PX-10. Maybe my snobbishness, but I figured these to be used only in an emergency (kinda like their pumps) and buried them in the parts bins immediately. I'm sure there's still one unopened and somewhat rusting away.

As a lark, I checked e-bay and there are several, two at really reasonable prices, and another priced much higher, but in a tin. If you buy all six of them, you'll even get the shop's box to go with it. I'm a minimalist and only carry just the emergency spare tube and levers. If I need more, there's usually some biker with a multi-tool nearby.

Happy trails,

Dang, there was more I wanted to ask about. If you check this photo: http://www.wooljersey.com/gallery/NITROBOBs-GARAGE/assorted+projects/MAFA C/

and this one: http://www.velobase.com/ViewSingleTool.aspx?ID=040A16AE-76B1-451D-B94D-6D B17995CB13&AbsPos=102

there are tools in these kits that I don't have of course, but I have versions of tools that are not in either of these photos.

Finally, I see that Bicycle Classics has the REG tool kit, purportedly just like the Mafac one. What is in the REG tool kit? Anyone know of photos? Thanks much,
