What BB Tool do I need

Crappy picture (use a macro setting and/or move a few cm further away), but it looks like a Shimano/ISIS interface. You need a tool like this one, just make sure that you get one with a suitable drive interface (1/4" or 1/2" socket and/or spanner fitting) for whatever drives you have in your toolbox.

Yeah sorry about the quality, its actually my cell phone.

Sure looks like the Shimano/ISIS interface, altho I've not seen one with the four gaps between series of teeth like that appears to have.

Looks like it's a 20 tooth interface like the Shimano/ISIS tool you've got (at least accounting for the gaps that's what I counted), but you've got that goofy projection inside your bb tool, try the Park BBT-22, doesn't have that projection.

I think its Park bb18 or eq. but I'm not 100 % positive .

Yeah , I got nothing other than trying an adjustable pin spanner . Someone knows what it is , maybe try posting in the Mongoose forum .

I was looking at your first picture for the tooth count, seems like the 20 tooth tool should work. No way that's the BBT-8/BBT-18 interface, though. Your new photo isn't much better, but does look kinda lik the teeth don't line up now that I peer at it some. Maybe some proprietary thing Mongoose used if the 20-tooth tool doesn't mesh even without the projection...any Walmart mechanics out there? (altho thinking about that, they probably install that at the factory).

PS You might try the bicycle mechanics section over at bikeforums.net, some of those guys have seen just about every bike out there.

Thats a possibility.

I thought about drilling out the back of the tool I have and see if it holds up. If I have to buy a whole new tool any ways, I mine as well try and get the one I have to work.

Your tool may be hardened , if it is its going to be extremely difficult to drill .

Not a problem if I can find the right bit. I have actually drilled through 5160 carbon steel 7.5mm thick :thumbsup: Doesnt sound like a lot but when it is hardened it takes a while.

Somewhat a matter of opinion . You don't know anyone else who has a bb tool?

Yes I do, but they are gone until they come back to the state for school.

It is most certainly a very basic bike. But no different that you would find for 300 dollars at a LBS currently.

Good thought, although fwiw I just compared the BBT-22 to an FR-6 (four-notch freewheel tool) and the notches are at a significantly larger diameter...
