Strengths:
Does the job, fit application perfectly, nicely made tool, it has a shaft pressed in that pilots into the spindle to keep it straight. Half the price of Park Tool's version. Came with another sticker for my toolbox.
Weaknesses:
None

Bottom Line:
It's a must have tool to service, remove or tighten your bottom bracket to remove irritation squeaks. The pilot pin is a nice feature to have, seeing that Park Tool's version recommends using a wheel skewer to do the same job. This tool made the job quick and easy.

It looks like it should work

It doesn't work

Bottom Line:
It doesn't work. My bottom bracket is a RaceFace ISIS which this product claims to support, but it won't fit over the splines. The inner diameter of the tool is too small. I even tried grinding on the inside of the tool to make it a bit larger, but it still doesn't work. Have to give it up for the guys at Pricepoint though, I told them of the problem and they are sending me another one for free. Let's hope it is a manufacturing problem. I'll update this review when I get the replacement. Until then don't waste your money on this.
