🔧 Efficient Park Tool CCP-22 Crank Puller: Extract Cranks with Ease Review

It takes a lot of effort to remove the handle even if it is brand new. The handle of this tool is too short to be effective for most people. Eventually I found I could tap the end with a rubber mallet. This took about two full turns plus one more without a hammer. I reduced the durability by two points because I'm sure it will break if I use a sledgehammer instead of a hammer. There are better options; including those where you use your own keys.

I go out of my way to only buy Park Tool because I really appreciate their commitment to educating people about bike repair and maintenance. But this particular tool fails. Very small lever due to short handle; It is extremely painful to exert force with hands with intricate grips, even with heavy gloves, due to the thinness of the grip. The standard pushrod tip is also too wide for some cranksets I've encountered (especially older SRAMs), forcing me to use jerky workarounds like throwing pucks

Worked great. The 17 year old mountain bike had a crank that was never removed. I tried a crowbar, a 4 pound hammer and a large screwdriver, hit it with a liquid wrench and let it sit for 24 hours. The next day I still couldn't get it off, so I had to order a puller. After reading many reviews I chose this one and I'm glad I did. I made sure the first nut was hand tight so as not to strip the threads, then fully tightened it with an adjustable wrench since the instructions specifically said…

I usually like parking tools but this one missed the mark. I think I liked the idea of a built-in pen in theory. But in practice, as some others have pointed out, the handle is just too small for the leverage/torque required for the job. The thin shape is very painful for the hands. The tool made the work extremely difficult because at some point it would get stuck and just wouldn't move anymore. Like the worst pickle jar experience of my life. Incredibly annoying. I had to assemble something…

I've decided to spend the off-season upgrading my bike. I decided to save money and bought a cheap set of tools including a crank puller. Big mistake! It was rubbish. When I tried to use it, it completely stripped the threads from the non-drive side crank. After spending several days trying to remove it, I finally resorted to a hacksaw. Luckily I've already replaced the crank and bottom bracket, but it would be nice to have my old parts as spares. Anyway, I ordered this item and canceled the…

My bottom bracket was binding after one of the sealed cup retainers failed and wrapped around the axle. I've always been afraid of doing bottom bracket work on my bike, but since my cheap Walmart bike was bought specifically so I could familiarize myself with bike repair (which is definitely what should happen with a Walmart bike), I bought it after I This aroused my fears and set to work. I was sure the threads would snap and it was going to be a real challenge, but the job was MUCH easier…

I have a lifecore attack bike and needed to remove the crank pedal and this was the first time I've done this so I went to youtube to see how to do it. I knew you needed a special tool, but I didn't know which one. After watching a few videos and seeing what people were recommending I went to Revain and after reading a lot of reviews I settled on this kid, a Park Tool square crank puller. I didn't even know there was more than one type of grip. I received this product 2 days later and started…

My application is Schwinn Protocol 1.0 purchased in 2014. Up to this year (2021) this bike has served me well. This year it started clicking every time I pedaled hard. I've gone through all the usual suspects: derailleur and derailleur, seatpost, pedals, suspension but couldn't find the root cause. Now it's time to pull the handle and see if that's the problem. Schwinn uses a three-piece crank on this particular bike. I don't know who does it. In either case, unscrew the 14mm nut that holds the
