Fwiw, I dimpled the chainstays on a couple of bikes with the use of a bench vise, a wooden form for the outside of the stay and a screwdriver bit on the inside of the stay. Tighten the vise, and the bit creates a horizontal depression in the stay. Pics here: https://www.flickr.com/gp/8858391@N04/81i89Fvm76

I agree with Gugie.
hair shirt on.
if the moderators would please remove my snarky posts, so we can get back to helping out one another.
Also, knowing he is in PA, and I have connections with Bilenky in PA. I’ve already made arraignments.
The OP has been made aware.

FYI, there are at least two threads for specific specialty tools in circulation:
The Classic & Vintage Pass Around [Cotter] Press
C&V 23.35 mm crank puller pass-around thread
PS, I thought Rob's post was funny but much respect for having it deleted so we can focus on obscure tools.

How about a Park HTS-1? I used to have one and never had an opportunity to try using it, but now I have a frame that actually needs it.

I have an offer to make with MAJOR caveats...
I have "loaned" my genuine Stronglight crank-puller to a couple CVers before but it only comes with a couple nonnegotiable accessories: my own two hands.
So has to be a rendezvous either in the local SF Bay Area OR someplace where & when I'll be traveling and we can coordinate like a crack Secret-Ops Team!
The reasoning for all this is that this tool is the "portable" version (or at least it's no shop-model) and whenever I have used it I wonder if "this is it, it's finally gonna break".
So if it's in my hands when/if that ever happens (heaven fore-fend!) I have nobody to blame butme...or rather...
SKINNER!!!

Anyone have a VAR 13 or other pin-type headset wrench that they can loan? Or, any suggestions on where to buy a reasonably priced one?
I recently picked up a '64 Bianchi to go with my '54, and need to get some fresh grease in there....

I have this one that I am willing to lend out. I will want it back as it is part of my tool box, but I can lend it.
It has been powder coated for rust protection and has new pins installed from Wayne at Mel Pinto. I suspect he may be able to see if there is a new or upgraded model that he can sell.
New pins that interchange from bb cup spanner to headset spanner.
PM me. Smiles, MH

I poked around a bit more and the cheap commonly available ones appear come in 4 different sizes. I think there was a full set of 4 for under $50.

btw, some pin tools are entirely useless depending on the placement of the headset hole. Too close to a "bulge", the tool doesn't seat properly. My Bianchi wasn't bad, the Cinelli sucked. I'd bet they had something proprietary at the factory back in the day.

There is a warmness and fuzziness of using a bike specific tool at times. But hook spanners and pin spanners come in many different flavors and some googling will find some options that are cheaper than the McMaster-Carr and other industrial suppliers. Over the years I've bought a lot of them for the shops through McMaster through our purchase order processes because it is quicker than getting an Amazon or eBay purchase approved. But for my own use, I can be more frugal and use other avenues.

Awhile back, when I had the same issue with a three-pin headset, someone posted that the AR-15 Armourers Wrench will turn these quite well.
If you Google these, there are a lot of variations of this tool so I'd expect you want to choose one with a larger stud on the end of the hook.
These are quite cheap and often come with free shipping.

I need to warn some folks, I loaned out my Stronglight puller and received it back damaged. A friend told me a thread file would fix it, so I'll try that.
