steven ralph: Managed to get my BB86 out with this tool once I got the dust cover out using the BBB Cycling BTL-113 tool. Unfortunately my BB didn't want to come out in one piece using the BBB Cycling BTL-113 but enough of the BB came out to enable me to remove the dust cover and then use the Lixada press kit to remove the rest of the BB with ease (wasn't able to get the Lixada press kit tool in to remove the BB with the BB dust cover still in place). The Lixada press kit worked really well to remove the remaining BB and made installation a doddle. Well worth the investment as it can be used on many different sizes of BB. Just a carboard box to store it in but I preferred that to keep the cost down. The rest of the items are ot good quality.

JacopoB: Classico oggetto "ad averlo saputo prima".
Fa egregiamente il suo lavoro: estrae le calotte senza tanti problemi e senza particolare fatica (occorre giusto tribiolare un attimo per mettere correttamente in posizione l'anello) e le inserisce senza tanti problemi e senza doversi preoccupare più di tanto dell'allineamento iniziale. E' piuttosto pratico da usare, sembra fatto bene, l'unico dubbio inerente la durata è sull'elastico delle rondelle dell'estrattore, il resto sembra adeguatamente essere longevo.

Unico difetto: il prezzo. Nel senso che su Aliexpress si trova il medesimo articolo a circa metà prezzo (25-30 euro). Ovviamente nel secondo caso tempo di consegna stimato sulle due settimane, con Amazon tempo garantito due giorni, a me serviva subito e quindi via.

Daniel: Gebruikt voor mijn trapaslagers van een specialized s works 2012. Lagers kon ik met de tool makkelijk verwijderen en makkelijk weer erin persen. Goede kwaliteit

Arash Fallah: I bought this after watching a YouTube video (China Cycling or Rides of Japan). The package arrived promptly and it looked alright; but, after taking out all the parts and inspecting them there was a definite signs of the item having been used before and returned.
I expect returned items to be evaluated on their quality again and any defects to be corrected before being recirculated in the market again.

Will: Just replaced the press fit BB86 bottom bracket on my Canyon (Shimano BB72) with this tool. Handled both the removal and installation well. The instructions aren't great, but the tool isn't terribly hard to use. Incredibly happy with this since it didn't require any hammering of the existing BB to remove.

Quality of the tool is great, not flimsy like I expected for this price point.

eb: I used this to remove my old Shimano BB-MT800-P press fit bottom bracket and press in a new BB-MT800-PA bottom bracket. I have a lot of automotive experience, but this was my first time doing this type of work on a bike. The tool did a great job. Removal was very smooth and I was confident I didn't harm the bike during the process. Installation was a little more difficult because I had never done it before, but once I got the right combination of drifts/pieces it was very smooth and I was confident the install was straight. I could see how someone would damage these plastic BB's if they over tightened.. be careful. I took off a star on the review because I feel the handle design and instructions could be improved. Since the handle isn't fixed to the rod it was difficult to determine which side was being tightened or loosened. The handle pieces could also use some loctite. Not a huge deal. I priced out other better know brands at well over twice the cost (for install and removal tools), and I think this did as good a job as those would have.

Thomas Finegan: I have a Stumpjumper with Sram Dub cranks and a carbon fiber bb shell. This tool pressed a replacement bb in with no problems. It was easy to set up and use. One thing I liked was being able to set up the cup on the opposite side of the bearing in such a way it stabilized the threaded rod. That's important, because you are assured that the bearing will go perfectly straight into the bb shell. That's maybe not obvious at first, but if you're already willing to buy this tool, you should be willing to figure out how best to use it.
Plus, it's about the same cost as having a mechanic do the job once, and now you can do it yourself many times.

Wei W.: I purchased this item to install my SHIMANO 6800 crankset to my new frameset (a crash replacement). It was my first time removing and installing press-fit bottom bracket. I'd watched some YouTube videos to get myself familiar with the process, and was particular worried about the removal part, as it involves using a hammer to strike the BB out and mine is a carbon fiber frame.

However, my worry turned out to be unnecessary as this tool has a brilliant design to remove the BB without using a hammer, but with the same "press" approach as for installing it. It was such a breeze for the whole removal and installation.

One minor issue is the user manual is way to concise, and not so much helpful. Luckily, it was not an issue for me as I've understanding on how PF BB works, so I was able to figure it out.
