Review on Park Tool Bottom Bracket Wrench by David Roberts

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Essential tool for servicing old one-piece or three-piece cranksets on a bike

My family has eight bikes including a beach cruiser for my wife with a one-piece crankset and a smaller mountain bike for my six-year-old that uses the old three-piece crank used. To service the bottom bracket or bottom bracket on any bike I needed this tool. As soon as I received it I got to work and had no problems. This HCW-18 is made from hardened tool steel (I believe it has a hardness of HRC 61) and unlike some cheaper tools the knurling on this wrench fits perfectly and will not bend under load. And that means this tool has five stars in my book.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Something different
