Took a long time for it to arrive but the tool is wonderful in its simplicity. Works great with Shimano bearing cups. Easy to take on and off as you adjust the dust sleave inside the BB as you seat the bearings. It is perhaps not as convenient as the Park quick release press but not at all difficult. Way better than a hammer that's for sure. Well made smooth operation. Glad I got it!;

This tool is a must for press fit bottom brackets. It is simple to use and small enough to not overwhelm your toolbox. It takes less than 5 minutes to install a press fit bottom bracket with this Shimano tool.;
