So both these tools by Park can apparently be used for BB bearing install, but the HHP also does headset cups. But the BBP is more expensive...

Is one better than the other for press in BB's of various standards??
Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

Used the headset press for bb pressing. Zero issues. I've never questioned why people bought the bb specific tool from park. I just never though it was necessary if you have the headset press already.

I vaguely remember the hex shaft on the HHP doesn't fit through bb86 bearings, but it's been a while since I've worked on a bb86 bike. I think just the threaded portion fit through the bearing... so they designed a new tool to fit all the BB "non-" standards.
