I use the Campagnolo T-wrench very often, although one can easily get an 8mm socket and a 6mm allen wrench anywhere. I used to imagine that one day Campagnolo would make one end of the T a 5mm, and keep the other a 6mm. That would be a useful tool.
I also use the Campagnolo crank extractor and peanut butter wrench.
The headset/bottom bracket tools are good
I only occasionally use the brake adjusting wrench, but am always glad to have it
For bottom bracket or headset installation or removal, I ask my friends who are better stocked than I for help.
Everything else is pretty generic. Trader Joe's Organic Creamy is my peanut butter of choice

I have a lot of projects in the works and have a question about tools. Having worked on and built up a few Campagnolo equipped bicycles in the past, though my brother Duncan has done most of the real wrenching, I/we have not yet wound up lacking a tool needed to complete the job. But as I'm planning on building several NR and SR equipped bikes over the coming months, I'm thinking maybe acquisition of a few specific Campy tools may be in order. Assuming I'm not going to spring for a full boxed set, what tools should I be looking for and prioritizing that will enable me to best build and maintain my bikes? Also, what brand of peanut butter works best with a Campy peanut butter wrench? Thanks in advance for your assistance. Feel free to reply offlist.
