Right. Park Tool's first version of the BBT-2 tool wouldn't clear the larger diameter Octalink/ISIS spindles but they quickly revised it without changing the model number. The blister pack just had a yellow sticker saying it would fit the newer styles. The current BBT-22 works on all square taper and Octalink/ISIS cartridges.
