Review on πŸ”§ Hozan Lockring Tool with Dual Radius for Headset and Bottom Bracket by June Reeves

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent professional tool

On bicycles you will find locking rings on steering columns and bottom brackets. This tool is suitable for both. Eldi used to make an adjustable snap ring wrench, but it required two hands to fit and was awkward to use. Var have made some bottom bracket snap ring pliers that fit 2, 4 or 6 cut snap rings. Unfortunately, some headsets have 3 notches. Although called a carriage tool, this tool is suitable for both a carriage and a typeface. Without them, the only way to tighten the snap rings is to hold the chisel in the grooves and tap it with a hammer. Two-handed operation that is inconvenient and requires too much attention, holding tools to carefully adjust bearings. This snap ring wrench allows the mechanic to fine tune the bottom bracket. One of these should be in every bike mechanic's tool box.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
