This is an amazing tool. It's well thought out to be both portable and useful.

You will need to use your own 22mm and 15mm wrenches with this tool as it doesn't have a built-in handle like some of the larger pro-shop crank pullers that take up a LOT of room in a tool box and are not portable if you are out on the road on tour.

The 22mm wrench helps turn in the outside portion of the tool into the crank threads so you probably want to make sure you have it in more than just a couple of threads or you will end up pulling threads out of your crank and ruining it. Make sure you have the inner portion backed out almost all the way so that it doesn't give you the false impression that the tool has bottomed out in the crank when instead it is bottoming out on the bottom bracket and not screwed in all the way. One could probably get away with using a small adjustable wrench on this part because it doesn't take much effort to spin the outer portion into the crank threads as they are usually protected by the end cap and should almost be easy enough to screw in by hand most of the way.

I use my Trixie tool to turn the inner section as its a good 15mm box-end wrench and it's in my everyday tool roll anyhow. Since this tool is light enough to take on tour I have it planned out that I'll use the Trixie to operate this wrench on the 15mm head and an adjustable wrench to screw it into the crank via 22mm head. Once the outer portion is screwed in all the way you don't need to use the 22mm wrench any more and can just spin the inner portion of the tool with the 15mm.

Others have said that the removable rotating ends fall off easily and don't stay on. My tool doesn't have that problem. There is a rubber O-ring or something in there that is holding it on. Perhaps that can rip when they are taken off roughly and then allow them to be loose. I've pulled mine off and swapped the rings a number of times and they have no issues with being too loose or falling off.

Cons:

This tool is a compact portable version and doesn't come with wrenches that are permanently attached and create a TON of weight in your tool roll when touring. It might become necessary to service your bottom bracket or cranks on the road and without this tool you are at the mercy of the LBS (if there IS one near where you are). This tool can be used with your Trixie or any 15mm box wrench (or 15mm pedal wrench in a pinch) and an adjustable wrench that opens up to a paltry 22mm (that's not even 1" to the metric-impaired -1" is about 26mm)

Park tool makes a bench version of this tool so there is no reason to mark this tool down for what it is NOT.

This puller can be adapted to work with both square and "Octalink" splined cranksets. The instructions and actual usage were straight-forward. The quality of the part is great, probably more than I need for my limited usage.

I used this on two bike and it worked like a charm. This is the first time I have ever worked with a Crank Puller and figuring out how to use it was a breeze. Highly recommend this product!
