Shimano freewheel puller compatibility with other freewheels
I keep Shimano freewheel and cassette tools and use a LBS if I need a non-Shimano freewheel removed. Someone recently told me Shimano freewheel pullers can be used on Falcon freewheels. I put a Shimano freewheel puller into a removed Falcon freewheel and it fits into the splines with some play. I put the Shimano freewheel puller into a new uninstalled Sachs freewheel and it goes into the splines very snugly with mild effort. A Park tool Shimano cassette tool does not fit. Can the Shimano freewheel puller be used to pull these freewheels if installed or would there be risk of stripping splines? If so, is the risk slight or mild? -- meb |

Falcon freewheels need a different tool. The splines of a Shimano-type tool can round off in a Falcon freewheel. -Vee |

If it doesn't fit, I use the skinny-splined one. That way, I always use the right one. -- Phil, Squid-in-Training |
