A terrific deal, I bet the two bottom bracket facing tools have different thread inserts too, why else have two?

If there is a second axle "vise" let me know, maybe we can negotiate a deal... You don't NEED two of those, and thats the only part missing from my kit.
In the first case image there is an extra BB facing cutter, great to have spares of that.

I must admit having a set of these tools makes working on a vintage bike such a pleasure, they feel good, they work well, they are stamped Campagnolo...

I bought mine on ebay years ago, it was just listed with a buy it now option, it was a neon sign saying BUY ME NOW. I did, and fortunately it came with extra parts to dress the three major threading standards. And I thought I got a deal too, yours is equal or better for less.

Bikes: old ones

Is there a back story ? Did someone die or fold up a business ?

Am I younger than you so that I might look for these at your estate sale ?

Previous owner worked or works for a very major bike company and has been in the industry a loooong time.
Age wise nearing 50, but I plan on living forever to be a nuisance to my kids

There is only one axle vise, there is what I believe is a Suntour one in the spares box. The bb taps are 36x1 and 34x1 on the tools, and there is one individual 35x1 tap, as well as extra fork threading dies in 1" x24 and 1"x25. There are even a couple of Dura Ace tools-a derailleur hanger tool and one that I am not sure about yet, looks like a gauge of some sort with what appear to be bb sized threads in one end. There are also Park, Tioga and Suntour tools and a nice assortment of freewheel tools.

I'm older than you by over twelve years.

I drink heavily, when I can, and take very poor care of myself.

So look for my estate sale in the Sacramento CL sometime in
the future. My wife has no idea of the value of this stuff and
will want to clear out the garage as quickly as possible.

Drive your kids over the edge, it's what old people do.

the 36 is Italian, the 35 is French... but the 34? Sure? Reads as if you have English and French fork dies.. a good assortment. Thanks for looking for the axle vise.

If the Dura-Ace derailleur hangar tool is complete it is actually more technical than the Campagnolo tool. The laughing part for me when it came out with the SIS system was that it was set up to use a CAMPAGNOLO rear hub as part of the system. Shimano admitted that a pro shop would have Campagnolo hubs in stock to use, and much less likely to have an extra set of Shimano hubs lying around.

The other tap set is english for the bb, that is what I get for leaving my reading glasses at work

If I wanted a derailleur hanger tool, I'd go to the tool builder about a mile from here: https://efficientvelo.com/tools/hanger-alignment.html .

Nice score, Toytech. Use them and care for them well.

That gave me a chuckle as I am... maybe close to that age... Ha!

I bought a tool case a few years back and I paid three times what you paid. I had a Campy tool fever at that time. Your score was great and even better with that second cardboard box. Man what a deal!

Warning to others when buying the Campy tool kit. If they are shipping it to you. Have the actual (metal) tools wrapped and boxed separately. Separate from the wood/plastic molded tool box. Why do I say that? FedEx/UPS 'moves and transport' their shipments sometimes not quite gingerly. My tools 'moved' during transit and cracked the plastic molded form and the wooden case. I ended up buying another empty tool case. FedEx gave me $300 as insurance payment even though I insured for a lot more. Something about insuring vintage items... It was an expensive lesson learned

Anyway toytech... Great Find!

Ahahahaahah.

You may be a nuisance, but at least they'll have access to a killer toolset!
Great find for five bills.
