Bottom Bracket Tool Suggestions

What is the best BB tool for removing a Shimano Ultegra
cartridge BB? I have the correct Park BB tool, but it
doesn't seem to sit 'deep' enough into the cup to apply
enough torque to loosen the cup. When I really start to
apply force, it gets unseated and comes out.

My personal method: start on the drive side, and use a bolt
through the center of the tool to secure it to the shaft;
unscrew with a wrench on the hex instead of a ratchet in the
recess The non-drive side will usually come right out
without an argument once the drive side is backed out a bit.

My Pedros BB tool requires some inward pushing force to be
completely seated; it then requires some force to be
removed. Hand force, not hammer force.

I second the Tacx tool - it's great.
