Solid Tool from ParkTools
Rating:
The Good
Quality Made + Good Price
The Bad
Hollowtech at bottom sort of unnecessary
Overall Review:
Must have tool for anyone with external bb. The hollowtech tool at the bottom end I've never needed, mainly because I haven't had shimano type hollowtech bottom brackets.  Also, most of the time, that hollowtech tool is included with Shimano Cranks anyways, kinda an extra not needed.  However gotta give credit to Park Tools for adding a combo to the end of the spanner.Quality Product and a must have if you ride near mud and water, helps uninstall the bb and clean out of your bottom bracket area to regrease.

Too short for intended use

The Good
Bites well on Shimano and Truvativ external bottom brackets.
The Bad
Handle is too short for removing tight bottom brackets. The HollowTech installation tool on the end of the handle makes this problem worse.
Overall Review:

I've used this wrench many times to install and remove bottom brackets, but every time I find myself reaching for a piece of pipe as an extension - the handle is just too short. The included HollowTech tool is great for Shimano Cranks, and works as intended, but it's right at the end of the handle. I removed it pretty quickly. This tool has the right fit and strength for its purpose, but it doesn't have the leverage needed for the job.
