Abbey Bike Tools Spin Nut Micro Bearing Press Green / Spin Nut

The relatively diminutive Abbey Bike Tools Spin Nut Micro Bearing Press Kit is primed to handle all small bearing jobs, where the delicate bearings have an inside diameter of 13mm or less.

Where most press heads are glorified nuts, Abbey Bike Tools has crafted a solid thrust bearing with balls and races, which ensures the pressing action is buttery smooth and isolated from the torque. It can be turned by hand, using the brand's signature finger spline pattern, or if you find something is fitting excessively tightly and you need a bit more leverage, there's a 6mm hex in the top so that you can use an Allen key.

The Micro Bearing Press comes with a selection of drifts to fit 13 different bearing sizes, all of which are machined to fit like a glove, along with a centring cone that can be used on the empty side of your hub, frame or linkage to ensure the press is concentric with the bore. At the other end of the press, a spin nut ensures that everything stays firmly in place.

Abbey recommends installing bearings one at a time, using the centring cone, to ensure they settle in straight with minimal fuss and no danger of damage, either to them, the frame or your tools.

The whole Spin Nut Micro Bearing Press is elegantly simple, offers smooth action on with minimal effort, takes up little space and strikes the perfect balance between being gentle on small, delicate bearings, while also generating enough force to press them in squarely every time. It's well thought out, good looking with its anodised green detailing, and slender enough to not take up too much space on your wall or in your tool kit.
