Strengths: solid construction, high qualityWeaknesses: noneBottom Line: Just bought this tool and did a complete overhaul of my rear Chris King Hub, this tool was worth every penny, and the instruction booklet walks you through every step, very easy to do yourself...
I am glad I bought this tool now I can do all the maintenance work myself and not have to deal with any shops...if you want the job done right do it yourself!! Also order some Chris King ring drive lube...I called every shop in the area nobody carries the stuff
Service your hubs once a year and the tool will pay for itself
Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month
Price Paid:
$150.00

Strengths: Beautifully made (as with every chris king product), comes with a decent manual that has lots of helpful pictures, does exactly what it says on the tinWeaknesses: Price, this beast is damn expensiveBottom Line: It may be expensive, but at about £40 for an annual service of a rear hub and £15 for a front, £140 for a tool to service them yourself seems to make sense when the hubs are guaranteed for five years. If you've already got chris king hubs (which you probably have if youre reading this) then i guess you won't be averse to splashing out on quality gear. I'd recommend it to anyone who's serious about maintaining their bike, even if you arn't an experienced machanic, the manual is easy to follow and explains exactly what you need to do step by step. 5 chillis overall, but only 4 for value because it doesnt come cheap.
Favorite Trail: the lake district (all of it)

Strengths:
Design,documentation in enclosed manual, part labeling on tool and beautiful workmanship of tool itself.Weaknesses:
Could have been designed to double as headset toolBottom Line: Works as expected and hoped. The manual is written in easy speak and the tool is very beautiful. Everything about King comoponents seems to be better than expected. This tool is worth having even if you never take the hubs apart.
