Excellent video. I’d love to use that tool after too many years of nylon hammer and bashing. Also, I think you did an excellent job of describing each component and the process involved accurately and without umming, erring and mumbling.

How about rear/free hub with an intermediate preload spacer between the two bearings (DT Swiss hubs)? Won't this tool damage the edges of the spacer?

For the normal home mechanic this tool is way too expensive, but it´s maybe mostly meant for professional use?

Cost-wise, yes, this is best left for pros. Even as a home mechanic (formerly a shop mechanic), I'd like a set since I'm obsessed with removing bearings impact-free. I'll embarrassingly admit I don't spend the bare minimum for tools where precision and good mechanical design is key, which means my current tool arsenal is already pretty expensive and it's not even complete yet. (it's configured to work on rim brake road bikes with mechanical groupsets)

really would need to be obsessed with spending money; alls needed is a bearing axel of the same size as the bearing, pop it in and expand the axel bearings and screw out.

Assuming these won't quite work with bearings that have a sleeve inside that's the same inner diameter as the bearings? I imagine there won't be room for the split collet to sit and expand.

Usually when there's a bearing spacer or sleave in between a pair of bearings it's just a little bit bigger than the inner race. In that situation these tools work well since you can set the C clip to the correct depth and know that you're expanding the collet in the correct spot to get into that small window of room.

Is the idea to make the extraction process smoother (vs punch or slide hammer) AND to try and preserve the bearing OR is the bearing technically compromised by placing force on the inner ring?
@abbeybiketools

Since this method doesn't use a hammer the bearing races should be fine after extraction.

I was thinking of buying your new LL Chain Tools: however, $137 freight to Australia is just ridiculous; 3 x the cost of the tool itself. Or are you only wanting to sell to the US? The Connex one costs AUD$20, and $12 to send it from Germany. Who's go the better deal for me?

Why bother with adjusting the split ring position at all? Just leave it with the max depth. Not understanding.

For a lot of applications that's an easy way to do it. There are some applications, like having a bearing spacer between a pair of bearings where having an accurate insertion depth is really nice.
