Gotcha.

I use the CCCP-22 because I really like the integrated handle. The CWP-7 will do the job, but it is just one more nut that you need to put a wrench on and turn while holding your cranks stationary.
Right now, I don't know what an isis or octalink style is, but I'm going to get the tool that does both should I run into them in the future.

My rule is to make sure I own all the tools needed to service any bike I buy or I buy the missing tool at the same time. If the missing tool is unavailable, uncertain, or crazy expensive, I pass on buying that bike. I just don't need the hassle as there are lots of good bikes available that don't present tool issues.
fwiw
/K
I don't want to debate, I just want to get the right tool.
