Which BB tool

Got a rare BB, and need a tool to take it off. I think its a Suntour. The Shimano BB tool is too big in diameter. It has 18 teeth. Identical on both sides. Any idea where I can find the tool for it? Thanks

I can't tell for sure from the picture, but it looks to me like a Phil Wood bottom bracket. I haven't ever bought a tool, because my lbs has one and I borrow it for the once in 10 years that I need to mess with a Phil. (I actually have one installed on one of my bikes...but it just never needs messing with).

Does this look like it might work?

Or you could get the pretty "shop" version of the tool.... it cost just a wee bit more....
