I’ve been playing with a couple of old French bikes lately, so this cotter pin press has been a lifesaver! Found for $1.50 at an estate sale

I have this handy Nitto wedge-type tool for spreading the clamp on a stem. Not sure if they still make it in the form that I have (I think there is now cheaper version available), and I rarely use it today. But it sure comes in handy when I need it or am working on a retro build...
Also like my 30 years plus set of allen keys...well worn but still nice edges...
