Does Sturmey-Archer single speed freewheel has the same removal tool with Shimano freewheel?

In my experience yes, in my experience mine have used the same 4 tooth tool as Shimano single speed freewheels, but it’s possible your SA freewheel could be different.

Ahh yes if they're both single speed the tool is similar! Sorry I wasn't sure if OP meant multi or single speed shimano.

Yes it is both single speed. Would you be able to say which tool is the best for all around freewheel removal. If I had one tool would it be the Sturmey-Archer or the Shimano one?
Thanks!

Does your freewheel have four notches to accept a four toothed tool? If so this is what you need:

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
