I cranked on bottom bracket cups with a pipe wrench for a decade before a new hire in the shop pointed out the specific Park Tool BBT-22.

He just quietly slid it over from his bench after watching me struggle, and the clean, non-marring fit was a silent but total indictment of my old method.

But like, how bad could it have been? It's just a wrench.
