Strengths: strong tool, works wellWeaknesses: noneBottom Line: Well after posting the comment below, I realized that I was using the wrong tool for the job. I was using a CCP-4 instead of a CCP-2, which is for square taper bottom brackets. So this is a good tool, just make sure you get the right one.

Strengths: Good solid tool. Does what it's supposed to do and then some!Weaknesses: None really.Bottom Line: This tool worked fine and took both my crank arms off. The reason why I gave this a lower rating is because the package didn't say anything about how to use it. So I figure there's nothing to it and I screw the outer ring in and start cranking down. Well I really cranked down, and nothing moved. Then I realized I was supposed to remove the center pin, but by that time I had already nearly destroyed the crank threads. I was just able to pull the crank off with the right tool setup with a bit of luck. So, good tool other than no warning about making this mistake. :/

Strengths: High quality, easy to use.Weaknesses: Kind of expensiveBottom Line: A little expensive for the number of times I'll probably use it, but it definitely makes the job easier. High quality tool so it should last a while. I was able to use this on both my Shimano and Campy setup if that is an issue for you. Price is the only reason it's not a 5.

Strengths: Park quality, does the job, fast and easy.Weaknesses: Park price, only had to use it 1x, is that a good or bad thing?Bottom Line: I only had to use these 1x to remove the stock Shimano STX-RC cranks that came stock on my 1996 GT Ricochet. I replaced them with a Sugino 44,32,22 chain rings and crankset. The tool was fast and easy to use. Cost a bit more, as I was considering a Lifu. But as I was still under the Duty amount for importing US products into Canada, I opted to go with a quality name brand. I still have the tool, in clean and mint condition. Thought I don't think I'll ever need to use it again in my lifetime.
Bottom Line: Park Crank puller, it does just that - it pulls crank on and off.

Strengths: Works as advertised
Made in USAWeaknesses: NoneBottom Line: Never had a problem with stripping. Just make sure you use lots of grease. A good tool is one where you just use it over and over and not have to think about it. Then you know you've got a good one.

from High PointDate Reviewed: November 23, 2003
Strengths: Appears versatileWeaknesses: Hex head tends to round offBottom Line: This review is for the "Crank Wrench and Puller" (model CWP-6). When the chips are down, and you're working with a tight hex bolt on a crank arm, I question it's reliability. I'm having to take my repair to a shop to finish the job. This tool didn't make the grade.

from NYDate Reviewed: September 27, 2001
Strengths: got the cranks offWeaknesses: the arm is captive, so you must spin it completely around, increasing the possibility of skinning your knuckles on the pedals or chainstays. Other designs have a hex with a movable arm which is easier to use.Bottom Line: works but look for the style where the ratchets or is moveable, especially if you have toe clips

Bottom Line: What can I say, it pulls cranks, and it pulls them well. I have been a bike mechanic for little under 2 years, and this puller has been used day in and day out and still works great as when I first got it. As for the short lever, cant do too much to change that unless you want to take the pedals off every time you pull a crank and that could become very anoying, so instead wrap some handle bar tape around it and she will feel great every time you pull a crank no matter how hard it is go get off. I also keep grease on the threads, just like any other bolt that you would grease.
