Is there a need for a specific tool for BB cups that have small 5/8" flats on the side surfaces?

They can be almost impossible to remove, especially the ones on English 3 speeds.

I have a prototype tool that will remove a 3 speed's fixed cup, no matter how tight it is. Even those the discontinued Kingsbridge tool won't remove. It's also useful for the adjustable cup.

If I can determine there is enough interest, I'll get a batch made. If you are interested, drop me an email. I'm not asking for a commitment or anything, just trying to gauge interest.

Thank You
