🔧 16-Notch Bottom Bracket Tool by Park Tool - Compatible with Shimano BBR60, MT-800, and More Review

The plastic adapter for these little BBs sucks. This part is a perfect match for the SHIMANO Deore XT M8000. There are several different versions, so do your homework before you buy.

And another standard for bottom bracket size as Shimano simply can't use either standard size for their new bottom brackets and anyone can use the tools they already have.

Hey, this is Park's tool and it does exactly what it's supposed to. Maybe a little overpriced, but aren't they all? But the delivery is wowza! Ordered Sunday noon and delivered within 24 hours with free shipping! I couldn't believe it.

Park Tools offers excellent build quality and great tools throughout their lineup. You can get a little more use out of a wrench that isn't as specific and costs a few dollars less, but when this type of socket is needed, it's invaluable.

This is an ESSENTIAL tool to ensure proper tightening of the bottom bracket. Tighten the slide on both sides. Tighten the right crank sprockets. Tighten the pedals on the cranks. Tighten the left crank on the spindle and if you did everything to specification you shouldn't have any squeaks.

Beautifully machined aluminum tool, typical top quality from Park Tools USA. This is for newer bottom brackets like Ultegra and Dura-Ace with 41mm OD and 16 splines. Unfortunately I didn't double check my BB and I need the 44mm OD version and will be ordering the BBT-69.2 from Park.

The tool does not scratch unlike other cheaper tools on Amazon. Of course you can get a cheaper version, but it may leave marks on your BB. It is important for me. If it marks, it's not seated properly and may rub off after a few uses. I take my BB off a few times to clean and oil it. This tool was never mentioned. Great tool!

This is a bottom bracket tool. If you have a compatible bottom bracket (in my case Shimano 105 R7000 2018+) then you know you absolutely need this adapter to remove or install it and nothing else will do. If you don't, it becomes a handy (albeit more expensive) paperweight. As always, the workmanship is first class with Original Park Tools. Might be cheaper, but hey, he'll always be there, always working. You will need a 3/8 inch socket wrench, but if you buy one you probably already have one.

CON It's expensive PRO It works Don't discredit Park Tools, the value for money is obvious. The tools are well made, durable and just what you need for specific bike tasks. If I needed this particular tool more than once every few years it would be 5 stars. Or if Shimano had provided an adapter that didn't self-destruct after a single use, I wouldn't need it. On a positive note, I now have a bushing that fits both the BBR60 and standard Hollowtech bottom bracket. I think I still have some…
