This $6 Campagnolo tool was always a pain to use. You can see the gouges where it slipped off the lockring. I had to secure it with a quick release, find the 1 inch socket adapter, and use a torque wrench. The Abbey tool fits over the quick release that stays on the wheel, and the handle is the right length to secure the cassette without a torque wrench.

My Dad had this 12 inch cast iron and brass level in his toolbox. Heavy!
"THE DAVIS LEVEL & TOOL CO, SPRINGFIELD MASS"
"PAT'D MAY 29, 1877.1883"

The level bubbles still work and are accurate.



Hitting both Neanderthal and retrogrouch buttons! Davis Levels are really some of the most beautiful tools ever. Jealous.
