This is a well made & thought out tool by Bike Hand. I have purchased several tools by Bike Hand now & have been pretty impressed w/their quality, especially for the price. It’s not Park Tool quality, but it is nowhere near the prices of Park Tool either. Sure you could just put a screw in a star nut & use it to hammer the star nut into a steerer tube, but you run the risk of setting the star nut unevenly or worse yet, damaging the threads while hammering. For the home bike kit, this is one of Bike Hand’s tools I would definitely recommend. The star nut setter came w/2 star nuts. These were a definite bonus, the tool alone is worth the price. Setting a star nut w/Bike Hand’s setter is very simple & the tool sets it at the right depth needed. There is a steel tube that has an inside diameter of 1-1/8 inch on one half & is slightly narrower on the other. This provides a “ledge” that stops the tube from just sliding down the steerer tube. The star nut slides onto one end of the black plastic “plunger” of a second steel tube. This then slides into the top of the first larger tube that is already placed on the steerer tube. You use a mallet to tap down the “plunger” until it is flush w/the steel tubes & the star nut will be set to the correct depth. The video makes it look like you have to really whack the “plunger” but from my experience, if you hit it true, it does not take a lot of strength. This tool should last a long time, just don’t go bashing it. It does not take a lot of strength or power to set a star nut. Thank you for taking the time to read this review, I hope you found it helpful. Review: Fantastic tool, extremely happy with product - Worked fantastic, no issues installing the new star nuts. Well worth the money. ## Features - PERFECT SETTING: The star nut need to be tapped into the fork steerer at the right position. Too low, the headset bolt cannot reach. Too high, the star nut cannot bite the steerer wall tightly. - COMPATIBILITY: The Threadless Nut Setter is used to install the star-fangled nut found on 1-1/8” threadless headset systems. - EASY TO USE: Install the star nut onto the tool and tap it into the fork steerer using a hammer. - HEAT TREATED: Heat treated high quality steel constructed for long time using. - ORDER NOW, WORRY FREE! We're so confident about our product quality that we can provide a life time warranty !

If so, then can it be used to set the steerer's lower ("crown") bearing race too?** A: No. It's actually used to align the right part so that when you "hammer" the right part down (with star nut attached), the star nut will be set and aligned correctly. The left sleeve has two different inner diameters and will not slip down the steerer tube to be used to set the lower crown. **Q: The pin down the middle is not threaded, anyone have issues with the star nut not going in stright because of this? All other tools are threaded.** A: I've installed two star nuts so far with this tool by tapping it in carefully. You can correct for slight mis-alignment if you go easy instead of driving it in with fewer hard hits. It's true the threaded pin makes this easier but its not essential if you are careful. If i were going to install lots of forks i would opt for the more substantial and threaded tool but for my home shop i find this tool adequate. Good luck! **Q: Couldn’t I just use a round broom stick lol?** A: I'm sure you could use a broom stick or a dowl. This was my first time so I bought the tool, just in case. **Q: Does this tool actually come with two star nuts?** A: Not as I recall, but then different sellers fulfill Amazon listings. I think the idea was to show it can set both 1" and 1&1/8" star fangled nuts. Of course, you could just use a bolt, some nuts and a socket that fits inside your steerer tube ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sets Star Nuts Flawlessly *by S***E on March 6, 2020* I purchased the Bike Hand Bicycle Fork Star Nut Setting Tool for 1-1/8 inch steerer tubes because I was upgrading my MTB forks.
