The VAR #13 adjustable pin spanner, which can have the pins turned in 90 degrees for applications like Bianchi style headsets, is still available. Your LBS can order it from United Bicycle Tool Co., the retail price will be approaching $70. It's a well made, lifetime tool like many VAR items. Replacement pins are also available. These things were most certainly in production at the same time as Bianchis with integrated headsets that needed them.
