Revainrating 4 out of 5

Call a bike mechanic!

Nice bit set; but didn't work in my application. It took a long T45 bit to get the Specialized brand carbon crankset off my bike. I went for the full set and agree with other reviewers that this isn't MAC-level snap-on quality; but definitely a step up from budget brands. Unfortunately, the devil is in the details. T45 bits and smaller have a solid hex shank that tapers at the end for Torx geometry. In most cases, this is considered a plus. On a custom crank, this little extra material prevents access to the crank bolt in the bottom bracket. Bow! I can try sanding it down to make it fit. The length of the loop is over an inch. Although you can get by with a grinder; the results will not be the best aesthetically. Only on the head of those who want to buy for the same purpose. Otherwise a good set of bits.

Pros
