I just got this tool today. It looked pretty flimsy and I was skeptical as to how long it would last given the price.
I rescue a lot of parts from the landfill and some are quite rusted.
Anyways, one set of gears I was trying to remove were really on tight. I tried to remove them using a 1/2 inch ratchet and socket with the tool; no luck.
Next I put a socket on a 2 foot breaker bar and tried the tool again; still no success.
So I decfided to try my 1/2 inch pneumatic impact wrench. I figured for sure the impact would destroy the tool. I turned my compressor down to 90 psi and hit the gear set with the impact; again no luck, but the tool held.
OK, now we`re getting serious.
I jacked the compressor up to 125 psi and went after the gearset again.
After rattling it for around 15 seconds it finally broke free.
To my amazement the tool was not damaged at all and I used it to take a few more gear sets off of wheels; again using the impact wrench.
Surprsing quality for the price.

Bought this about six weeks ago and have since removed the freewheel from dozens of “orphans” I’ve rescued from the scrap heap.- some of which were on there pretty well. It doesn’t look like it would take the punishment that it does. I’ve used it with a power bar and when that didn’t work, clamped in a bench vice. Tool is still like new and has never failed to get the freewheel off.
Pros: Durable, Good Value, High Quality
Cons: None I found

Works as it should.

A simple tool that I used to transfer my freewheel from one rim to another. You will also need a chain whip tool to remove the individual gear rings, but for my purposes this was enough. Make sure you also pick up a torque wrench to get the freewheel off, as a small adjustable wrench didn't have enough power to remove the freewheel, try as I might. Once I got this and a big 90 degree socket wrench, the transfer was a snap!
Very sturdy, did not strip when I failed to turn it using other small wrenches.
Pros: High Quality
