I have both the VAR and Hozan, and both are excellent. They'll remove just about any BB cup, although the most stubborn ones require some penetrating oil and a cheater bar. The worst one was a Stronglight fixed cup on a PY-10 which was Swiss thread with absolutely no marking to indicate it wasn't French thread.

Var and Hozan make them for about 60% and 50%, respectively, of the Campy cost. You can get them wholesale from United Bicycle Tool Supply (800-225-8287) or retail from http://www.biketoolsetc.com (541-482-0222).
