hollowtech bb which is the best tool to buy

[jackthelad]

guys looking to buy a bottom bracket tool with 3/8 fitting for torque wrench,I have read somewhere on the net that the park bbt-19 does not give a tight fit and was wondering which one to buy, like the shimano etc,any advice appreciated thanks

Not used the Park but I wouldn't put too much stress on one guys comments about under torquing.

I use the shimano spanner which does the job but is a bit messy as you have to swap it around when the chain stay gets in the way. So if you want an unblemished BB cup i'd go for the Park.

I'd echo what Accountant Pete says, assuming Hollowtech cups are exactly the same size as FSA cups..
I used a Shimano wrench (looks like an immersion heater wrench if that makes sense)...mine was a very tight fit and damages the paint on the cups.

I used this:-

the bottom one, with a Torque wrench, no problems.

Jeth,I think thats the one I was looking for,that fits the torque wrench,I heard the park bbt-19 chews the cups, but can actually verify it as i have not tried it, as have only used the bbt-9 .Dont want to buy a tool then re- buy another
