Shimano TL-FC16 Hollowtech 2 II Crank Cap Tensioning Installation Tool

Meets expectations. What didn't work with a loose head now works.

Pros & Cons

it matches my expectations

Pros & Cons

Great inexpensive tool you need to replace a cranck.

Pros & Cons

Even in plastic, it is ideal for disassembling the crankset.

Pros & Cons

Super handige tool voor het monteren van je crank. Het werkt super eenvoudig en prettige bijkomstigheid is dat deze tool heel voordelig is.

Pros & Cons

Does what it needs to do.

Perfect accessory to disassemble the left crank. In my case Shimano 105. It makes it much easier to remove the central thread, thanks to this accessory it comes out easily.

Pros & Cons

Looks light (plastic) but does the job without a hitch

Voor demontage van Ultegra crank heb je deze tool nodig. Werkt perfect! Met de hand kan je het dopje losdraaien.

Pros & Cons

it's a spanner for 1 specific screw. can't do much else with it.

If you want to replace your bottom bracket yourself, then you do need this spanner.

This little tool is just perfect. Parktool you don't need this will more than suffice.

Pros & Cons

Despite there being more expensive variants (perhaps they also look nicer on a tool board among other tools), I opted for the practical application of the product and this does exactly what it is made for. Simple effective and (not unimportantly) cheap. Price/quality a TIEN.

Pros & Cons

very handy tool sturdy ( should not be too tight! ) cheap Surely, changing Shimano cranks is much easier than Sram dub where you have to use a torque spanner to tighten the crank to 45 NM!

Pros & Cons

Size of the tool/grip absolutely sufficient

Saves a lot of hassle taking off your crank cover.

Handy little tool that does what it's supposed to do.

Fine tool, indispensable on certain Gazelle bike models. The tool was delivered quickly, is super handy and at a competitive price.

Pros & Cons

does what it needs to do

for a few euros, an indispensable little tool for removing your crank. A must-have for anyone doing their own bike maintenance.

Pros & Cons

small and handy, does what it needs to do!

Pros & Cons

Simpel: het enige wat je nodig hebt om je Shimano cranck eraf te halen. Werkt perfect en kost niks. Nodig? Niet twijfelen, bestellen!

Pros & Cons

nothing to comment on.

Pros & Cons

Not much to review here. Does what it’s supposed to.
