Reviews Park Tool BT-2  by: on: 03-Nov 2009 Easy tool to use when working on your bike alone. Great Quality. Great Tool to have in your tool box. usefull helping hand by: on: 16-Sep 2009 If you maintain your own bicycle this tool will really help on cable adjustment. It is nice to know that there is such a tool! Should last a lifetime! Ratchet Helpful, but not Essential by: on: 24-Oct 2008 With or without the ratcheting mechanism, the tool gets 5 stars. A 4th Hand is one of those tools for which there is no substitute. The ratchet will save some of the 4th-hand dance whereby you try to hold the adjustment while you snug the fitting, but truthfully, that's really not all that difficult. On the flip side, the ratchet can actually interfere in situations where you really have to finesse the cable as you snug down the fitting. Given my preference, I'd use the version without a ratchet/lock, but if handed one with, no problem.
