Two iconic tools from Campagnolo
•Tee-Wrench (8mm hex / 6 mm allen)
•Peanut Butter Wrench (15mm)
These are classics and belong in every velo-enthusiast’s tool box.
There are plenty of other tools that do the same job but they simply can’t match the fetish quality of a tool by Campagnolo. These will stoke the fire in your love-furnace. When you’re jacking your steed you’ll feel the campy-cosmic love flow.
The T-Wrench was introduced in 1955 and doesn’t appear to be available any longer from Campagnolo {you can find them occasionally on eBay}. Excel Sports lists the Peanut Butter wrench in their catalog for $38.00. BikeJerk {blah-blog} reported that according to industry sources the Peanut Butter Wrench will be discontinued {I’ve not been able to verify that report}.
An interesting financial note that illustrates one of the differences between Shimano & Campy {bicycle.com}:
Shimano’s bicycle-division sales were $2.1 billion last year, Campagnolo’s around $150 million
