Teeth too short

Compared to the Campy tool, the teeth on this tool are much shorter. As a result, over time it will chew on the retaining ring quite well, especially if it was too tight.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Protection

The Park Tool is built for life

It worked great removing and installing my Campy 9 speed cassette with no slippage or noticeable wear on the tool teeth. Just remember to bring a chain whip with a snap ring tool or your cassette removal project won't work.

Pros
  • Enjoyable
Cons
  • Update available

Works perfectly, good quality

Works perfectly. I have several of these types of tools for various cassettes and carriages and sometimes want them to work directly with a 1/2" socket/breaker. But this style works, so here it is. well done, i try to use them when i can afford it and i think i will use this tool again and again.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Compatibility

also fits cassette retaining ring

I had to replace an old Campy bottom bracket. I took my bike to a bike shop and a few days later got a call saying the bottom bracket couldn't be removed because they didn't have the right tools. Got this bottom bracket tool, removed the old bottom bracket in 5 minutes and installed the new one. Worked great and also goes well with the cassette locking ring. Saves me time and money doing this relatively easy repair myself. The product is just as advertised and shipping was fast. Very satisfied.

Pros
  • Ideal for small households
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
