What else can be said about Park Tool's products? They're best in class, but you pay for it. If you need to install the starnut in your aluminum or steel steer tube, this thing gets the job done. (You don't need this for carbon steer tubes, they use a compression plug) It drives it in straight and smooth.

At ~$17 for a $5 piece of metal, Park Tool should at least provide some lube. ;)

Excellent job specific tool. Will last a lifetime, and set the starnut perfectly at 15mm depth in the steerer tube for you. Pinching your skin? You are holding it wrong.

Heavy, solid, great.

Does exactly what I want (setting star nut) without flaw. Be sure to get a rubber mallet as well.
