Bike Cassette Removal Tool with Chain Whip and Auxiliary Wrench Bicycle Sprocket Removal Tools Sprocket Remover

I just want to preface this with the obvious fact that this is not nearly as good as the Park Tool version, but at this price I wouldn't expect it to be, so ............For a cheap chain whip this thing works pretty good. It got the cassette off with minimal fuss and did it;'s job without breaking. The lock ring tool is a little soft, but if you're cockering isn't overtightened it will hold up. I can't speak about how it'll work a year from now as I just used it twice, but I'm pretty sure it'll last long enough for me to not justify the park tools version for another year of two.If you're on a budget and working on an HG body, this will do the trick and probably come in well below your budget. 5 stars for a cheap and adequate tool.

I have an Eagle 12-gear cassette. It is true that if you use the chain whip in the on any gear but the largest cog, it will not fit (part of the magic of 11 and 12 gear cassettes is they narrowed the distance from one gear to the next allowing for more gears, but it also requires a special, thinner chain). That said, however, if you use the whip on the largest cog it works just fine.I do think this tool is a bit cheap, but for the price it is a great value. For someone like me that is only working on my own bike, and I only have one bike, I need this less than once a year and it is much cheaper than going to the bike shop (and so much more convenient too)! Now I have my new wheels all suited up and ready to ride. Good stuff!

These are just the took you need to do Shimano cassettes. The whip chain on the wrench failed on mine, the links were too weak and bent away from the rivet studs at the wrench. I was able to fix it with some wire and it still works. The Allen wrench and cassette socket work great.

Are you a bike shop? If so maybe you should buy Park Tool/Pedro's/etc for the warranty, peace of mind, and top-notch build quality.Now, are you a dude like me who uses this for maintenance or quick cassette swaps on your "fleet" or bikes? If so, don't hesitate and just buy this. I find the large Allen key and stupid drive adapter unnecessarily cumbersome... but it definitely works. If all you have are these tools, you can swap cassettes EASY.That said, if you want a totally and completely pain free experience, just use a breaker bar - the removal tool accepts a 1/2" drive (I think) socket wrench. So rad, and the quality is more than good enough for even a very active home mechanic like myself.

Good, well built tool, does exactly what it's meant to do. The lock ring removal tool is similar to the Park FR5.2G tool. The "G" means the tool has a guide pin to keep it aligned when inserted into the hub. A drawback with the guide pin is that on some hubs you may not have much spline engagement which may make removal difficult. A standard tool without the guide pin works well as it has better spline engagement. You can use a open or box wrench instead of the supplied hex wrench on the tool, that will help with removing the lock ring. Many factory installed lock rings are very tight and it can take a lot of force to break them loose.

I found this tool to be of similar quality as other mayor brands. You got to be careful when setting up the whip that you have the same sprocket all the way around or you WILL bend the sprocket or brake the whip or both, my trick is go from the end of the whip and make your way back to the handle. I used this tool to install a cassette to my trainer and to clean my Fuji 1.3 SST cassette and has been working great. Another thing is do not over-tight your cassette, remember that if you can't rattle the sprockets, they will get tighter itself with each pedal stroke.

So I bought this and didn't expect to need it after putting on a new cassette. But the wheel needed servicing so out of the plastic it came. Put the chain whip on the wheel and tried to loosen it with the tool and BAM!Everything came apart, almost lost a finger. Looked at the tool and the chain whip broke right on the very first try with the chain pin coming apart and the tool disconnecting from the main part of the chain.Let that be a word of warning to you or you'll find that after owning it a month and trying the very first time to use the chain whip, it explodes and breaks leaving you with nothing but a lot of frustration.

Bought a used bike, and some of the spokes were chewed up because the chain had jumped the rear sprockets. So I got new wheels, and needed this tool to remove the sprocket cassette from the old wheel and put it on the new one. Super easy with this tool and a bit of brute force. Very happy with how well the tool works. Well worth the price.
