This tool hasn't been on the market for much more than a year, to my knowledge, so I'd say that it qualifies as "new tech". It works quite well and is small and light. Highly recommended!

I’ve encountered this with folding tires (Ultra Sport II, for example, but generally all folding tires) that I’ve tried on my Ambrosio extra rims.
I just recently picked up the Kool Stop lever and keep it on the bike. This one looks handy because it’s a bit more compact, but they only spec it up to 28s and I run 32s.
