You get the Pedro's tool aswell. Just don't know if you can get it locally.

The Evolver has been designed to offer improved performance and 11-speed compatibility. It boasts several patent-pending features, including a Speed Dial which allows you to set it up for different size chains (including Campagnolo 11-speed, where the joining pin needs to be flared) and a Retracting Pin Guide, which encloses the guide pin to prevent misalignment.

 

“To account for chains of different widths, most chain tools have a bridge that is much more narrow than the internal width of the chain," said Jay Seiter, Evolver inventor and Pedro’s research and development engineer. "Though this has worked fairly well in the past, the addition of 10- and 11-speed chains has stressed this setup. It is simply not precise enough to handle the new high-tolerance chains.

I saw that bearing puller on CRC. The tool I was talking about is different. The new 2011 Power Torque cranks are different to Ultra Torque, you actually need a tool to remove the left crank arm from the shaft. Have a look at this video, you'll see what I'm talking about towards the end of it

 

I now see wht you are talking about and to be honest it does look like a glorified bearing puller, can you imagine if that tool isn't used properly how much damage it could o if it slips?

 

I for the life of me cannot understand why Campagnolo makes parts that require that level of specialist tools, the new Carnks look like a copy of shimano but it seems Campagnolo didnt want to use the tried and trused Shimano pinch bolt design?

I know a guy that has a salt and pepper pot made out of two front chris king hubs, I think he said it was over R2k for the set. And that is without the bearings!

I've always wanted a set of those Chris King salt and peper shakers

I have a Champy cork screw about R1500 and yes you can buy a cork screw for R20 - but the champy 1 is so impressive! Even given a few away as wedding presents - possible the corks screw is the best item champy makes.

LOL, you can't join an 11 speed chain with a Mr Price chain tool.

 

Well i would have to disagree with you here. A mate of mine had a stiff link in his super record chain, we tried to sort it out but to no avail. We had spare chains and with the use of a 10 year old chain breaker we joined the new chain on and continued to ride without problems. Not saying it is the correct way but it worked for us.
