You haven't mentioned what kind of bottom bracket.
If it's a Shimano cartridge bottom bracket you'll be surprised at how much better a genuine Shimano tool works than it's Park counterpart. The Shimano tool sets much closer to the bike so it tips less and doesn't disengage as easily as the Park.
I've also had to resort to the BB tool in the vise trick a few times. That has never failed me.
