4.0 out of 5 stars Your Basic Chain Whip, July 3, 2011

Not much to say about this tool - it's your basic chain whip. If you want to get your rear cassette apart without breaking something, you need one (along with the correct lock-ring tool), and that's that. This one is good quality, the handle is beefier that I expected it would be, and the other end has a hex pattern hole that conveniently works with some of their other tools (bottom bracket sockets) which makes it so you don't necessarily have to carry around a large crescent wrench to use those tools. Although I like the tool, it seems like it could be a little cheaper in price for what it is. I think that people tend to rate this tool low because it's use is somewhat anti-climactic. What I mean is this: You need to get your cassette off but you don't have a chain whip, so you are frustrated. You pay the twenty bucks or so and wait for it to come in the mail, and when it finally comes you go to the garage all excited and you put the whip on the sprocket and install your lock-ring tool and then, in a fraction of a second, the lock ring pops loose and the whole thing is over. The whip isn't even needed to put the cassette back together because the freewheel ratchet keeps it from turning. Anti-climactic.

One thing I will note is this, Park Tool makes four different chain whips, two of which are for special applications such as 1/8-inch cogs and 11-speed cassettes, so be sure you are getting the right one for your application.

It seems to do the job it was intended for. I agree with others that the wrench in the handle is next to useless. It would be much better if this fit the pedals or some other part of a bicycle like maybe the wheel bolts or just make it a handle and avoid the criticism all together.

I broke a spoke on the drive side and needed to remove the gears. I have many tools but none would grip the gears to allow removal. This tool easily did the job. Remember you need another tool to remove the retainer ring. The cost of both tools will be about the cost of a spoke repair at a shop.
