Canuck, VancouverFits Praxis for BB30!
Mr PhillipsWorks as it should, just don't think that this will get your new BBR60 on, you need a reducer tool for the newer ones
Mr WhitmarshGreat tool, really handy for overtightened preload caps. Fits a good range of BBs
J.R.Made the job of removing my old BB easy. Well made and fits great.
Mr ButlerWell made. Sturdy material.
Mr beebyMade the job easy, value for money as always.
DavidNice and solid, and the addition of the crank spline tool is good too. Did a good job on my FSA MegaExo BB. Only problem is that the Shimano BBR60 plastic adaptor (TL-FC25) doesn't fit it :(
AFTwo tools in one, great for Hollowtech 2 BB, you need a 8mm hex tool
DavidGood quality, does what it should.
Mr PalermoExcellent selection. Fast shipping to the US. Great price. My go-to cycling on-line store.
Mr BURLEYWorked really well. Bought this to do the job the stupid open 'C' wrench I bought elsewhere could not. Recommended
Mr WilliamsManaged to change my bottom bracket in minutes with this tool. Easy to use and doesn't mark the new bottom bracket cups.
G MeyerGood price. Has really solid feel to it.
TuyenUseful part for the toolkit for any DIY bike mechanic. Quality piece which will last a lifetime. Recommended.
Mr CichowskiNicely made tool that fits the related bottom bracket properly. Used at the recommended torque it does not mark the bearing retainer.
Mr WangGreat tool, works as a tightener for the crank bolts as well. Take note that the tool does not work with the plastic adapters for BBR-60 (Ultegra bottom bracket).
Mr daviesQuality tool, fits well, easy to remove a very stiff old BB.
PeddlerThis works well for installing a new bottom bracket - I haven't used it for the much more difficult task of removing one yet though.. I chose this over a spanner because you sometimes need huge leverage to loosen a bottom bracket & you are free to use a ratchet & socket. I was confused by the photos, but a hex key works fine in the star shaped hole.
EchoWell made, nice fit on the Praxxis BB I installed with it.
PaulVery good little tool instead of a wrench, bit heavy though.
Mr CraftEnabled me to install a new hollowtech II Bottom bracket without any problems, good value.
Mr HuffWorks great! Seriously solid stuff. I was able to get the bottom bracket installed with no marring of the metal.
Mr KirkpatrickGreat tool that does just what it should. Nice to have the two tools in one small package.
Mr johnsonWell made, strong tool only thing I would chhange is the depth of the cup, it could do with being a little deeper
Mr LewisLightning quick delivery (arrived the next day). Bottom bracket tool is well made, hardened and does exactly what it needs to, at a very god price.
Mr DeanSolid, well made tool. The weight of the tool makes using the preload side more precise
Mr MathewsonEasy to use, strong unit that adapts to torque & manual wrench usage easily.
Mr RodgersVery solid, well built tool.
Andy MallettDoes everything required to fit hollowtech cranks and bottom bracket. Bomb proof quality. Would have been nice to be able to use directly my torque wrench with 3/8 drive rather than a hex key adapter as some accuracy on the torque is always lost.
Mr renisonBrilliant little tool this. I had been using a Pedros spanner up until now, but it always chewed my bottom brackets and the compression bolt adjuster is separate so always gets lost.
This tool fits perfectly, doesn't mark the surface and the compression adjuster is integrated. It uses an 8mm Allen key (not supplied) to do it up.
I don't think you can get as much torque on the BB as you would with the spanner-type tools but maybe that's a good thing for your BB threads.
Recommended.
Mr porsboNice simple tool, works.
A nice feature is that a 5m Allen key fits in the hole. This way a torque wrench with a 5m allen key will make it possible to tighten with a specific torque (moment).
Mr PatersonWorked well no problems when using it to replace the bottom bracket on my road bike
Mr ZanarelliGood product. With this tool is easy to do maintenance on my bicycle and my Hollowtech 2 Bottom Bracket is always greased.
Ned in NewcastleVery good tool, particularly for the price. Had no issues fitting a replacement BB. Haven't used for removal yet but can't see it being a problem. For the price you can't complain at all. Just ensure that you have a good length hex key.
Mikey KGood price, but not as good a tool as the ring spanner type. If your bottom bracket is worn, this has a tendency to slip off the spines.
Mr StoreyNice idea. Great for clearing suspension pivot points. Actually better than the Park tool.
Mr TurnerDid both jobs nicely and for less money than buying the seperate tools. The BB outer side is a little shallow so you have to sort of hold the tool in place whilst tightening, but other than that very good.
RogerGreat product at the right price. Being a long time Park Tool fan, I have now realized that Icetoolz is a just as good alternative for a better price.
Mr yatesBest value I could find and very good, does the job
Mr TURHANGood quality tool makes the job its meant to do easy.
Mr NewtonExcellent service from Merlin as always.
Tool works a treat.
Mr BroatchPurchased a plastic version, without the bottom bracket fitting. Used it twice already for servicing friends bike. Superb bit of kit. Very pleased with it.
Mr Tygeit worked perfectly so I'm happy
Mr Morrisworks great and saved me going to lbs in future.
Mr SmithThis is a good quality tool. In-fact I used to use one as my HT2bottom bracket torque wrench adapter when I worked as a mechanic in a bike shop.
It is also handy to have the crank bolt tool integrated: a) this is nicer to use b) harder to misplace than the silly little plastic (shimano et al) ones.
If there were one criticism it is a little on the shallow side (compared to Park and Pedros tools) but this should only cause a problem on really seized bottom brackets - let a shop deal with them! ;)
Mr ToddGreat little tool, fits perfectly on the bottom bracket cups, then the other side slots in nicely to set bearing preload.
Mr MorrisUsed this and work worked great, used it with a torque wrench for accuracy, GREAT.
Mr HibberdGreat tool, in fact I would go as far as to say that its better than the Shimano tools.
Mr ReidExcellent tool, does the job perfectly. Also its a good neat fit on the splined section.
