That is a wonderful tool.
Probably not an issue for anyone here, but pretty difficult to use on many 36 and ALL 40 spoke wheels. Couldn't fit it when trying to adjust the cantis on an ancient tandem.
Works awesome on my current canti bikes.
Every February or March it's on sale at Chain Reaction for $18.43 or something like that.
Honestly after using that tool (the blue one) I would pay $90 for that piece of exacting plastic. I paid $160 for a CK hub tool that I've used 4 times in 8 years. Now I'm going to buy another $150 hub tool since I have new hubs with a new spec. And in 2023 I'll spend another $180 on the next CK hub tool when these 2013 hubs are obsolete. I don't mind $20 now.
My brakes are professional and I'm a lousy cro magnon mechanic. I can shear the o-ring off a griplock any day. But my brakes are stealthy and precise.
