asked by: a guest Does this work with chris king bb?
A.
anwered by: canteau It will fit the Chris King Bottom Bracket, but for best results Chris King recommends their bottom bracket tool to reduce chances of the bottom bracket being scratched during install.

A must for italian bottom brackets. If you try to use w/ bike in the stand, it will slip if the frame isn't solidly mounted. That is a bb design problem, not a tool issue. With the wheels on the ground, had no slip issues.
This is a vast improvement over the open wrench type tools. There's no way to guarantee against slippage on tight bottom bracket cups but the fit of this on Shimano and FSA has been very good in my experience. Solidly built and works well with a torque wrench. I can't imagine that the more expensive competing socket tools could be any better.
Yes, this is a little hard to hold onto the cups if they are on super tight. However, used with the right wrench it's a vast improvement over the BBT-9 in terms of leverage. Note that you can also fit the wrench end of park chain whip or other large wrench on the flats.
This works with a standard 3/8 drive ratchet or torque wrench. This tool made it simple to remove and install the bottom bracket on my MTB. Works perfect.
This tool gripped my SRAM GXP cups firmly with no scratching or slipping. It bolted right on to my Park TW2 wrench and allowed me to torque down everything perfectly to spec.
It is an inexpensive tool with no issues that I can identify. I did have to lightly scrape out a few small spots on the inside of the tool with a screw driver where it interfaces with the BB, because the coating they used on the metal had pooled in those areas. But this did not effect anything and the finish appeared unharmed.
I recently installed a Truvative aka cranks with a GXP bb and this was a exactly what I was looking for. I choose this instead of the actual wrench because I already have a set of racheting wrenches and this fits. My only complaint is that it tends to slip when you torque it. Just hold on to it when you are doing so and all will be well.
