Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Sun Tour 2 Notch Freewheel Remover by Park Tool by Kulwinder Hendrickson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

This parking tool is of the highest quality

I was a frame builder and bike shop manager/mechanic in the early 80's and recently converted the first bike I built from one of my frames - mine. Having not needed a Suntour freehub tool for a while, I couldn't find my 20 year old 2-notch Suntour tool. did I say 20 years? Gesha time flies by. I should have said almost 40 years (circa 1982) - as long as a bike and a frame. So I had no choice but to buy a new one. Most of my tools that I've bought over the last 20 years or so are Park (or Campy) so I didn't hesitate to buy this tool as I expect it to last as long as my much used original Removal tool in the past. Well, shortly after this tool arrived and I used it for my conversion project, I found a box in my home shop containing several tools and bike parts, including not just one but two freewheel removal tools. Too late to send it back, also I've used it and didn't feel good about sending it back so I have three of these now. I've been working with Suntour freewheels for a long time. However, the point of this story is to compare the new Park instrument to my old instruments. I can say that in every way the Park tool is just as well made, well made, has the same weight, ease of use and durability as the old 'earlier' tools. It's not cheap metal, poorly machined etc. This is a great professional quality tool for the bike shop, if you need one and are SURE you don't have an old one lying around I would have no hesitation in recommending this parking tool.
