I've got one of these -- but I they're a more recent tool -- I could be wro ng, but I think they started making them about the same time they got into the business of selling complete wheelsets. Again, I could be wrong -- I've only seen one of the old Campagnolo tool kits once and it was a long time ago, and I don't remember a spoke wrench in it.

As far as function, I don't think it's any better than a similarly designed one I got for about $5.00 years ago with a name on it like "cycle-pro." An d when I build wheels, I really prefer my little Park spoke wrenches.
