snap-on's 'wrench force' crank puller is the one to use. $7 or so and works simply and perfectly with an adjustable wrench. the park one with the built in handle is for ****.

"*Campagnolo's C-Record, Croce d'Aune, and Victory use 22mm left-hand extractor threads on the left-hand crankarm only. "
That statement is wrong. Both crankarms are left hand thread. The phot in my original post is of the bolt from the drive (right) side and is obviously left hand threaded.
The comment I made about right hand thread was to demonstrate that it made no sense to have one side left and the other right, given that both crank bolts are right and the point of having the extractor left threaded was so it didn't unscrew with the bolt.
Mind you there's a long history of decisions that make no sense in crank bolt and extractor design, as per earlier posts in this thread.

True, but this is only a concern if the self-extractor components have been lost.

In the early '90's, a mechanic friend removed the crank extractors in my C-Record crank. I had bought an SRP Ti replacement upgrade kit & two Ti crank bolts were part of the kit. 20 years later (last week), I decided to pull the crank off the bike. The Ti bolts came right off w/o issue. Figuring I could just put the extractors back in I could then easily remove the crank arms. After about a 1/2 hour of trying to screw the extractors back-in clockwise w/ no luck, I thought how could the extractor's possibly even be effective if they screwed in right-handed, when you have to also have to also screw the allen bolt in clockwise for crank arm to come off? Frustrated, I finally tried putting the extractors in counter-clockwise & viola...right in? This is where they are going to stay henceforth....
Righty-tighty / Lefty-loosey does not apply here.

^ Yes, you caught that too JD! Both my C-Record crankarm extractor's screw-in...in-reverse (counter-clockwise). Confusion...?

Campagnolo's C-Record, Croce d'Aune, and Victory use 22mm left-hand extractor threads on the left-hand crankarm only. These cranks were originally equipped with 7mm self-extracting bolts which thread into the arm; hence, the reverse-thread extractor is needed only if the self-extracting bolt has been removed from the crankarm.

From Headbadge.com:
All fixed... 
You don't think I had a hard time figuring this all out as well? ...esp being left-handed.
Campagnolo's C-Record, Croce d'Aune, and Victory crankarms use 22mm left-hand extractor threads. These cranksets came from factory with 7mm self-extracting bolts installed, so the necessity of this tool is moot if the self-extracting bolts are present. If the bolts are not present, the TL-1170005 tool is necessary for removal.
Keep in mind that the self-extracting bolts themselves are conventional right-hand thread and are tightened and loosened in the usual manner. Only the retaining ring (installed and removed with a pin spanner) which the bolt sits within is left-hand thread to fit in the arms' 22mm holes.

I have to sit and read through this thread again. I believe there was only one or two model of Campi cranks that were LH thread and it may have been only the C-Rec or even just some of them.
I have a Campi LH extractor and I believe I used it once, or maybe bought it after I used the shops tool once.

But yeah, I'd expect $7 from Snap On is the price of a replacement Phillips tip for a magnetic screwdriver!
But still, the Campy tool is in the $30 range, which I don't think is out of the ballpark. i've had one for about 30 years - they are not disposable and have no useability issues.
