Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Labewin 2Pcs Freewheel Remover for Shimano, Sun Race, DNP & Sachs - Efficient Tool for Bike Maintenance by Bryan Covington

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Soft metal, *head required* - breaks when using an adjustable wrench

If you're thinking of using this with an adjustable wrench, think again. I've tried and the metal of this tool is too soft, you just round the tip. See photos after my first try. This was with a regular adjustable wrench without the broken rod for added momentum. So the steel/metal of this tool is quite soft. Please Note: It WORKS, but* you will need a socket and a very strong 1/2" ratchet or punch that fits snugly on the top of the tool. That way (with a tube that can be used as a brake rod) I was finally able to use this tool to remove a Shimano freewheel from two Walmart bike wheels. Without this nut, it would have been impossible to remove the freehub as the tool's tip wasn't hard enough to support an adjustable wrench. I think you get what you pay for. Anyway, I hope this helps someone.
