Used this tool a number of times since making the purchase. I originally purchased it to use as a chain whip, but having easy access to the pedal wrench on the other end has kept me from digging through my tools to find my 15mm wrench. The length also gives better leverage than my tool box wrench.

Length:: 2:38 Mins

Just a quick video review of the Park Tool HCW-16. Bear with me, it's the first video review I've done. If you have questions, you can ask and I'll try to respond asap.

I needed a chain whip to take off a cassette, and I was originally going to buy a dedicated tool like the SR-1, but then I realized I also wanted a pedal wrench, so I got this instead to solve two problems and save me some toolbox space and money. Considering I only needed the chain whip for 10 seconds, I think it was a great idea. The HCW-16 is pretty thin so I'm a bit worried about it digging into my hand if I need to use the pedal wrench end on a stubborn pedal, but the chain whip side did exactly what I wanted.

It does exactly what it's meant to do with a minimum of fuss. It takes up less space than two seperate tools. I'm a happy camper.
