Review by Dave AzReviewed 4/10/2015by Dave AzPhoenix4 of 4 customers found this review helpful.If you do your own work you need thisThis is another tool that falls in the category of not used often but indispensable when it is. Works great on my front center pull brakes that seem to always need adjusting. Not as useful on my rear brakes due to space constraints. not hard to justify the cost with a family of four with six bikes.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 2/9/2015by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastSt. Louis metro area3 of 3 customers found this review helpful.Makes DIY cablehousing replacement much easier.You'll use this for about 10 secs. for each brake and derailleur cable at the end of a cable/housing replacement job, but it eliminates a lot of wasted time and frustration, and helps to get the cable tension/placement just right.

Review by Steve F.Reviewed 6/15/2020by Steve F.Saugus Park Tool Excellence This is tool is great to have and of course it is superbly made and works beautifully. I recently started to do more and more of my own repairs and maintenance so when I wanted to replace my shift cables it just made sense to buy this tool.

Review by MacReviewed 10/4/2020by MacCycling EnthusiastPortland, ORAn excellent tool to use instead of vise grips, way easier.Getting the proper tension on brake cables, especially canti's, is so much easier with the Park BT-2. No more fumbling trying to hold three things at once.

Review by Deanna AReviewed 8/1/2012by Deanna ACycling EnthusiastMaui, Hawaii1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.great time saver, easy to useWait for the sale, then buy it. I own eight bikes and ride everywhere. This tool is a real time and labor saver for me. I am constantly replacing and adjusting bike cables. I should have bought this tool year ago. If you adjust cables you love this tool, a very useful gadget.

Review by David EReviewed 6/5/2017by David EDaily CommuterSan FranciscoAlmost greatThis item does what it say but unlike some other of Park Tool items it's not great.
The locking mechanism can easily pinch the bare strands and this leads to unwinding. I think there must be better versions of this tool so I'll be checking vehicle and electrical tools for my replacement.
However it is better than nothing and it's pretty cheap for what it does.

Review by Mark12Reviewed 5/30/2019by Mark12Downers Grove What can I say, its Park Tool!My non Park Tool set squished the cable and the cable slipped to the inside. The real Park Tool has a slight groove that clamps the cable not allowing it to move or get damaged!

Review by GarzillaReviewed 6/24/2013by GarzillaCycling EnthusiastSpringfield,MACan't live without thisI don't know how I survived so long without this tool. It only does one thing, but it does it real well and is indespensible. If you only own one cycling tool- this should be it.
