The usual Park Tool quality. It's just a simple threaded bearing press.

I know, I know, what's to figure out? Well the instructions hint at the extension tube but don't actually tell you how to use it. Was able to press in the top and bottom bearing cups into the Beachcruiser steering headtube. Still tapped them down with a big rubber mallet but solved the problem. Can also use this on the bottom parts for the pedals. I gave it a 4 star because of the lack of the tube extender being shown how to use it. My suggestion also would be to press one cup at a time, preferably the bottom first then the top. The other reason for the 4 stars, because it is pricey for what it is. You are paying for the Park Tool quality and name and you do get a quality built Product, however there are other similar products for a quarter of the cost. All depends how many bikes you plan to build.

I bought this to install press-fit bottom bracket bearings on my yeti Sb130. While it’s not as convenient as the more expensive park tool, this is all you need, one possible caveat: chain stay or rear triangle clearance. If your frame bulges out near the bottom bracket, you may have to add a deep well socket or spacer, or replace the arms with nuts to provide enough clearance to turn the arms. In 95% of cases, the tool will likely work just fine.

This worked really well, and is very easy to use. The high quality and simple design should last many lifetimes. I purchased it to install press fit Shimano bottom brackets into my mountain bikes.

For years I've been assembling headsets & bottom brackets with a bolt and mass of washers & nuts. It was always terror-filled. I didn't want to take a chance with a new frame & bought this. What a difference! The bottom bracket slid in smooth as butter and never once tried to wander off at a wacky angle.

I have used this to press a headset into a bike frame. It worked great. I don't know how I would have done that without this, other than taking my frame to a bike shop and paying more than the tool cost to do so. I now have it for future bike maintenance as well. Great tool.

I used this to install some BB30 press fit bearings into a frame. Like others I tried the DIY approach using a long piece of thread and some washers, but I just couldn't get the bearings to go in straight. Then with each failed attempt I had to dismantle it all and punch out the misaligned bearing again! With the HHP-3 tool it literally worked first time! I'm very happy with my purchase, yes it's expensive but hopefully I'll get more use out of it in the future.One thing to note is that it didn't come with any drifts for installing the bearings. I already had some which came with a removal tool. I wonder if perhaps the 1 star review on here didn't realise you had to use drifts and was just using the washers?

I usually have my bottom brackets out 2 to 3 times a year for cleaning and lubrication or even a swap. I have been working with a homemade bearing press setup (nuts and threaded rods with washers) or a budget bearing press for years. Those setups worked but always required very very careful and slow installation. It also took multiple attempts to get the bearings in without them being cockeyed. Even when I was careful I often ended up forcing the bearings in at an angle that I was not comfortable with. It was always a cursing affair.Last week I took out my BB30 bottom bracket bearings and was having so much trouble getting them back in with my homemade press that I broke down and finally bought this HHP-3. I didn't want to mar or stretch the cups on my nice frame so I kicked down the $75 and took advantage of the free one day shipping. Lost and Found was two days away so I wanted the bottom bracket in order. I can't believe I went so many years without this tool. I had struggled for 1.5 hours to install the BB30 bearings with my homemade setup. I couldn't get them to align in the cups to my satisfaction. They just kept going in too crooked. I was even using the correct Park installation bushings for BB30. Once the new HHP-3 arrived, I greased it, assembled it and pressed the bearings in perfectly straight on the first try. It took less than 5 minutes. It was sort of a face palm moment given how much I struggled with these types of installs over the years. This might be one of the best tool investments I've made and I have only used it once. :) If you are having trouble installing your bearings straight, get this tool and get the correct bushing for install. It will make your future maintenance a lot easier. I'm looking forward to using it again.

I have never been disappointed with Park Tool tools, and this item is just as great as all the other ones I have. Sturdy construction and top quality! Easy to use.
