It may be the ultimate bike geek Christmas present, but my brother gave me one for Christmas. It's used to safely and accurately bend derailleur hangers back to vertical and parallel to the wheel after bending. Some new bikes even have bent hangers. Improves shifting and reduces wear.
Getting one done at Fairfield is only $8, including a derailleur adjustmant and you don't have to get your hands dirty, and they have any parts should something be discovered. (eg worn chain etc.)
But if the hours don't work for you, mine's available, and I'll show you how to use it if you bring drinks (americanos in the am, green tea in the pm, or beers after 7:00 pm); one for you and one for me.
