One Stop Solution, May 4, 2010
By Peter Moore (Paducah, KY)
|
|
I looked at my other options to change out an external bottom bracket crank and this was the only one stop solution. This tool worked perfectly and I couldn't be more satisfied.

Park Tool Quality Speaks, March 8, 2010
By MJ (USA)
|
|
Park Tools are quality. If you need a BB tool for Hollowtech or other compatible external bearing bottom brackets, this is the one to get. But you probably already knew that. The little plastic end wheel for removing crank arms works OK, but not nearly as well as the business end with the big teeth. Positive grip without worry of damaging the cups or scratching the frame.

Buy the socket tool, not this., October 7, 2010
By WRX Navigation (Syracuse, New York, USA)
|
|
My title says it all. I have both tbis tool and the socket version. My bottom bracket was way to tight for this tool and it was hard to keep this from stripping the groves. The socket is easier to control and put the necessary torque into. The tool itself is fine but was not what I needed.

Works as advertised, February 2, 2012
By Li (Dallas, TX)
|
|
It's pretty much the essential tool for servicing hollowtech ii type bottom brackets. Easy to use, great grip. However be careful to make firm contact with every tooth on the BB before turning, or it may strip the tooth on the bottom bracket easily.

Decent Park Tool, but I Don't like the Cap Tool, June 8, 2011
By phillyhouse (Moosup, CT)
|
|
This tool works well to get the bottom bracket apart, but the plastic spindle remover does not provide enough surface to grab onto to remove stuck-on caps. Park Tool makes a metal tool for this also (BBT-10) that looks like a big wing nut. In hind sight I should have bought that as well. Most of the time those caps are stuck on there really tight. The BBT-10 would make it much easier to get the cap off. From personal experience, I highly recommend it in addition to this tool.

Worked great!, June 3, 2011
By Sharrn

It did the job of removing the bottom bracket from one bike and installing on the other. I can't complain.

Yeah it's a bit pricey, but it works very well and really its not to bad of a price for a custom tool. Park makes great tools and I appreciate that.

use this all the time, September 4, 2011
By Ruth Sade
|
|
really good tool to have if you service your own bike. BTW this would work not only for Shimano bottom brackets, but with others as well. when you need to service the bearing there and need to clean there it is very useful and easy to use, just like the cassette tool there is no real replacement and it really come handy

Very Handy tool for Shimano 105 5600 BB, January 10, 2012
By gsus (Chicago, IL)
|
|
I'm upgrading my bike to Shimano 105 (5600 series) and there would have been no way for me to tighten the bottom brackets without this tool. However, the only downside to this tool is that you can't measure the amount of torque being applied to the BB. Regardless, this tool is very useful.

Great Bottom Bracket Tool, December 28, 2011
By Maximus Decimus Meridius (Los Angeles, CA)
|
|
This is a professional style bottom bracket wrench for Shimano BBs. Good feel with quality construction. If you are a DIY person this will work great. You do have to pull the crankset in order to use it on the bottom bracket. Pedros version BB wrench that has an open end may be a better match if you do small tune ups and just want to retighten things. The other end works on the crank caps.

Does the Job, But Would rather have gotten the socket tool, March 27, 2012
By ParadigmPete (New York, NY)
|
|
Had I known it existed, I would have purchased the socket tool instead. But this tool did the job. The socket tool would be nice to attach to my torque wrench and it would take up less space in my toolbox.

All you need for your Hollowtech BB, May 16, 2012
By SMXSteve (Seattle)
|
|
This is all you need to replace your Hollowtech bottom bracket and it works great. The black tool on the one end removes the cap on the crank. And if you know what you are doing it will easily remove the bottom bracket. It was so simple to do!
