does the EAI locking fit the 3 notches on the park tools lockring tool as well? That's the thing I love about the Phil lockring. Those notches line right on up and I feel like I get much better contact on 'em than the other lockrings I have. Surly lockrings suck, IMO, but that's neither here nor there.
Does anyone else use a Park
BBT-7 bottom bracket tool for their Phil Wood lock ring? It is a perfect fit. I had mine for an older Dura Ace BB. With 5 prongs you don't slip at all.
I have not tried the pliers, a little pricey but I am guessing they are worth it.
