Great tool, read for tips.,
I originally purchased a very cheap version of this tool and the pin that pushes agains the bottom bracket completely mushroomed because of the soft metal. The XLC tool does not have this issue. The metal seems to be of better quality and the threads lock into place very well.
There’s a potential of causing damage to the threads on your crank arm. Note how the picture of the product (attached to this review [and zoomed] in case the product image changes) has the push pin hidden inside the side that screws into the crank arm (the left side of the picture). You must ensure your pin is in this same position when introducing the tool to your crank arm. If not, the pin will poke out and will not allow you to secure the tool to all of the threads on the crank arm. If you do not secure the tool to all of the threads YOU WILL strip the threads on your crank arm. At this point, the extraction of the crank arm will be next to impossible without wear/damage to you bike and/or bottom bracket. Also, when tightening the tool onto your crank arm, and before extraction, make sure you use a wrench to secure the tool – this will also protect the integrity of the threads.
