Steve, It’s funny you say that, all my bikes , except for one , have Campagnolo skewers . I will have to see if the tool I have will thread on to the other bike with Superbe / Sunshine skewer. Hmmm. This is my favorite FW tool though. I only have a couple of Regina FW’s , most are SunTour and take a different tool. Glad to see Rob got the stuck FW off the hub , but man , he had to work for it!

I dunno , to each their own I guess. I kind of like the way the threaded tool works . I have other tools for other FW's and , yes , using the skewer nut works . I just like the way this tool works even though most of my bikes don't require it. So it goes with tools . I have different , seemingly redundant , tools for different situations and they all have their place in my cave! The FW tools , along with various Campy and Sugino tools , came to me years ago from a retired racer who gave me boxes of his old racing stuff when I bought a set of wheels from him. They come in handy from time to time.

I suppose. Just seems like it would be more seucre being built into the tool. That said, I reckon it wouldn't justify the added complexity/expense to make.
