IceToolz BB cup tool - 1/2" drive

I like the socket attachment much better. A lot more leverage and bite.

I love the socket attachment. I used to have a BB tool with only a hex on the outside for a crescent wrench. The wrench would always slip off making me think I was stripping something. The deep splines are also nice to get a good bite on the BB.


Pros: Deep splines, socket attachment.

Sturdy tool

A problem with a lot of Park tools is that they require an adjustable spanner or one of their special tools like their FRW-1 freewheel remover wrench. That latter tool and the lockring tools it uses are 1 in. (wide across the flats) and not metric.

Until the SR-11 chain whip appeared I completely avoided some of Parks tools and went with IceToolz (made by Lifu) because they fit 3/8" and 1/2" drive socket wrenches.

If you are one of those guys who tightens and loosens freewheels in a vise, you don't need this tool but if you follow the torque specs that the mfgrs have provided then these tools are indispensible.

Pros: Used with breaker bar or torque wrench or impact gun (be careful)!

Cons: none
