I have the park off set cone wrench. Unfortunately, it is too wide to fit in the very narrow slot provided.
Var used to make a wrench that was supposed to fit the Ideale. But the VAR is for a much smaller bolt than on the saddle I have. The Var must have been made either earlier (or more likely) later, than the 92 saddle. I will check out the Nuovo Record wrench. Otherwise, the open Craftsman may be the way to go.
