For the cost of Campagnolo tools they should be the best -- but many of their tools are out dated unless you are working on vintage bikes (just so you know -- I work on vintage on bikes). I have been wrenching for 38 years and between my store , my man cave and my tools set aside for mobile repair/race site events -- I own allot of tools.
I have yet to pay more for any tool than I payed for a Campagnolo tool. Not even close.
i can agree with you almost completely. in our case the crank puller should have never left the factory and park refused to stand behind it. (we had it checked by a machinist, it was wrong)

i would put money that snap-on had nothing to do with your bike pump. snap on doesnt even produce there own tools of this nature

What a joke!
i dont drink wine, but wine drinkers (not cyclists) say that it is a great tool and if you can afford it, worth it.
