The machining on this tool is very good. Use the correct torque wrench to tighten and, like any work with a torque wrench, use your hand to assure the tool stays secure to the bottom bracket. One hand on the wrench is enough to get you to the correct torque. This isn't like tightening a bolt on an engine!

I bought this to install a M770 crankset. Works just fine with my beam-style 3/8" drive torque wrench. As others have mentioned, it can slip to the side a bit if you're not careful. Be sure you're installing the cups on the correct side and your threads match (right-hand tread vs. left-hand thread) and you shouldn't need much torque until the last bit of tightening. Also, keep a hand on the socket side to keep everything straight throughout the tightening process.

Very happy with the tool. It will be around for BB rebuilds and for friends to borrow for some time.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not perfect, April 22, 2008

I thought a socket would spread the pressure more evenly than a spanner, thus less damage. However, the socket is heavy and tilts very easily when applying force with the wrench, resulting in slipping and causing damage to the BB. Quality is very good, but if I could do it over, I'd buy the spanner.
