Some great looking tools, the one that would remove the pedal crank case with the 6 key holes.

I have tried to find a tool to be able to remove them...

Some nice tools to make life a bit easier when stripping a C5, but how much are they worth ?

I once read somewhere that an item is always only worth what someone else is prepared to pay for it  ;) The tools themselves are not essential if you want to strip and rebuild a c5 as we have now all found alternative methods to get by. But I guess they are desireable because of their scarcity.
