Park Tool BBP or HHP?

[Moneywatch]

I need a tool to install a press fit bottom bracket. It appears either Park Tool will work, but the HHP can do the headset and the bottom bracket. Which tool will have the most versatility for future proofing? Much appreciate your sage response s.

I actually have & really like the Wheels mfg version (Press)
Excellent quality & priced at usually 30% off their retail (less than $60 )

They also have the Pro version which is more than I need (But also extracts)

I will second the Wheels Manufacturing press. It has worked great installing BB-86 bottom brackets. I was also able to use it to install the headset spacers on a couple of Argon 18 framesets.

^ I will 3rd the Wheels Mfg press. It worked great for me installing a few different bb's.

The WheelsMFG press is nice enough, I'd spring for the professional version for better/larger handles. WheelsMFG sells all the drifts / adapters you'll need for most any BB/Headset. The difference between their BB and HS press is the drifts supplied and the length of the threaded rod. Ordering the HS press and the BB drifts you need will give you all the functionality.

The Park Tool HHP is the superior press though. It's much heavier construction, faster to use with the adjustable collet, and gives much more leverage to make easier work of tough headsets and the like.

The WheelsMFG will get the job done and is easier to store, the Park Tool would be my choice if you were using this heavily.
