Tools: yay!

I had occasion to use one of those the other day, but it was an earlier version (solid body, not a rolled strip of steel as this appears) plus it only had an end for a female threaded spindle, and I was doing work on 2 different BBs, one which had a nutted (male) spindle, as in this pic.
I had to resort to my DIY big bolt with washers (thanks, Sheldon) for that one...plus the deadblow mallet.

The "right tool for the job" is sometimes just the one that finally worked.

BTW, here in SF, showing off your tools in public was just outlawed by the Board of Supervisors.
