BB tool ?
 

Looking to add a BB tool to my kit. So Shimano or Pedro brand??

Doesn't matter.

unknown specifics as to what kind of BB you are talking about....

And there are others like the various Parks. Two factors come to my mind. Will you drive the tool with a ratchet wrench handle, and will then need a tool with a 3/8" drive, or will you use an open ended wrench (large adjustable or 32mm headset) and not need the square drive? Second is if the BB has a funky arrangement so that the tool needs to accommodate an axle diameter or a unique spline/fit.


I like and have at hand the Park BBT-22 (with it's square drive) and the Shimano TL-UN-74S. I've used a Pedros a few times and it worked well. Andy

Depends on what BB's you'll need a tool for. Some bb's use a totally different tool than others. Some
use a similar tool, but slightly different size. Buy some socks or gloves while you are there.

If you are only going to use it a few times, you might be better off just taking it to a LBS. If you are regular customer of theirs, they'll probably do it for little to nothing.

I've got a BB tool and a few others tools I've only used once because the cranks I replaced the old with required a different BB and therefore needed a different tool.

The tool would be used for UN 55 BB.
Thanks for the replies!

My Pedro's BB tool has both 24mm hex and 1/2" square drive options.

we use the socket drive at the shop ..LBS
