Zookster,
I have and use Var tools for the specialty tools here. I used them at the Bicycle Garage when I worked there (1978-1986) and they have been a staple for me. They are available through Mel Pinto imports and are the best I have used. Maybe Campy is better but these have done me a solid for 35 years. Smiles, MH

Var bottom bracket taps for both sides, they are designed to align the BB cups when cutting the threads. If you are just chasing the threads they are the best.
