 Be sure to choose the correct size insert!Oct 19, 2008
By David Migl
This product works perfectly. You screw the middle-section of the tool into threads on the crank that are designed to accept this type of tool. There is a central screw that the handle and an insert are attached to; you turn the handle and this causes the screw to move laterally. The insert pushes against the bottom bracket while the middle-section pushes outward (held in by the threads) and eventually the crank comes off. This tool uses torque and a screw to increase the amount of force you can apply parallel to the bottom bracket, making it much, much easier to remove a crank, which seems to have a death-grip on the bottom bracket.
However, be sure to choose the correct size insert (it comes with a small one and a large one). The large one is pre-installed on the tool. However, if it is too big to fit through the hole in the crank (as it was for me), you will completely strip the threads out. It took over an hour to get the stripped crank off and I now have to buy a new one. It is completely my fault for not checking the fit of the insert, but perhaps Pedro's could ship the tool with the small insert pre-installed to keep users like me who are beginners from stripping the threads out. Users who needed the larger insert would probably not be at risk of stripping their threads out with the smaller one.

Easy to Use and Versatile Crank Remover!Apr 24, 2011
By C. McColm
Similar to the other bike tools by Pedro, the crank remover works great. I've used it to remove cranks off of square and octalink spindles without issue. The handle is coated for comfort and ease of use and is long enough to get sufficient leverage to do the job. I'd recommend putting a little oil or--better yet, grease--on the threads of the crank remover in order to be able to extract the crank easily and efficiently.
I'm not sure if he's real, but if he is, then Pedro deserves thanks for another great bike tool! :-)

does what it claimsNov 30, 2009
By David Dyck
Bought this to remove my old stubborn crank on my 1982 Le Tour road bike. Took the cranks off so easily I wondered why I waited this long to buy one.

Works as promisedJun 06, 2009
By G. O'Connor
I have to give it 5 stars because it worked as promised to remove the crank on an older bicycle. No issues.
Thanks to David Migl for the caution about using the right size pin for the job. (The tool comes with two interchangeable pins for different diameter spindles.)

good toolAug 07, 2008
By feedback
Works well. Necessary for taking off bicycle cranks and tightening them (via allen bolt on the other side). The handle is just the right size to usually fit between the pedal when rotating, whereas using a crescent wrench with the stand-alone 'crank remover' (without handle) would likely require removing the tool at each rotation.
