I rarely buy bicycle tools. If I need one, I stop by the shop.
Once I get my workshop rebuilt after the remodel here, it will have about 80% of the same tools the lbs has for their customers.
The Campy tool is expensive and one can't have everything.
Our shop uses the Campy tool btw.
Sorry, thought I smelled another senseless BF "pile-on" starting.
My own feeling is that if a special tool offers better usefulness than a high-quality generic (read "Park"), I'll buy it and not complain. Even aesthetics and feel in the hand can make me buy the fancy tool. I'd have bought the Campy 10 speed chain tool if I'd been employed when I built my Mondonico into a 10. Usually when (modern) Campy designs things as a system they do an excellent job. I finally read the instructions on a Campy chain and was impressed. It's a procedure that leaves little to chance.
