My X-Tools one is too wide to fit in the counterbore. Anyone had more luck or do I take the X-Tools one to the grinding wheel on Monday ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

Or just use a flat screwdriver.

I have one that's got a nice T handle so you can actually get some leverage on the little buggers. Just found that [url= http://www.icetoolz.com/icetoolz/index_pro3.php?parent=3&id=14 ]Ice Toolz[/url] make a screwdriver-type on that looks good too.

Yeah, and if there's a rock handy I'll use that to install the chainset too. Screwdriver on one side of a tiny alu slot? No thanks: false economy when it slips/chamfers the edge away. Especially as (hopefully) I'll have the tool for the rest of my cycling days.

That tool is one of the best pieces of kit I have bought.

Scewdrivers just will not do it, especially if the bolts have been together for a while.

You run the risk of losing the slot profile in the rear of the bolt and then having to drill them out

The tool just works so well

The added bonus of the special tool is it has a 2 pin other end for undoing the crank end cap...
