Review on 🚴 LEZYNE Professional Grade Bike Tool - 16 Notch 44mm External Bottom Bracket Socket, 3/8" Socket Drive, Compatible with Torque or Adjustable Wrench by George Marquez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Amazing top notch BB tool. No, there is no cassette holder ring.

Without a doubt this is an absolutely amazing and high quality instrument in every respect. So recently my bike started to squeak a bit in the bottom bracket and of course this is totally unacceptable so I decided to do the maintenance myself and since I have SRAM GXP cups I had to buy an external bottom bracket tool. The cheapest I've seen. the tool for was about 17.50 and in fact the lezyne here looked like the overall best candidate for the job, it has a 3/8 inch socket that allows me to use a torque wrench or an adjustable wrench. I went with a torque wrench. Of course, the process of using the tool was easy, there aren't really many steps to removing and reinstalling the slide. The thing is, this tool was accurate and amazing when performing a very specific task. The teeth were the perfect size when on the cup, they barely moved, and the hole was the perfect size so you couldn't feel anything. The whole tool felt premium, it's a good weight and nice finish that makes it look extremely professional and at such a low price it was actually the lowest price point of the BB tools. Simply a great tool. One word though, like everyone else here has said about the tool, it's just an external bottom bracket tool, not a cassette retainer + bottom bracket tool in one. However, I personally prefer stand alone tools for use with socket wrenches. The combination tool only allows the use of adjustable wrenches. I would highly recommend it if you need a BB tool, it's top notch and better than the similar Pedro BB tool my friend had and used.

Pros
  • It is amazing
Cons
  • There are flaws
