Poor tool. You can probably only loosen it with it if you have tightened it with it. You can't apply force with it.

Meh... need it, don't like it, still need it
Cheap-feeling piece of plastic needed to peg your crank off. Expensive for what it is.

thing does what it needs to do
It does what it is supposed to do, despite being made of plastic. For occasional use it's fine, it's not a professional tool, but you shouldn't expect that for that price.

Handy, but not really needed
It does what it needs to do, but still turns quite heavy. I used to do this with a butter knife and actually that was at least as easy

Perfect complement to disassemble 105 Shimano crankset
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.

simple, effective tool
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.
