The Park Tool CP-1.2 Cassette Pliers makes removing your cassette a breeze. No more mucking around trying to get a chain whip to hold it properly only for it to let go and risk smashing your fingers into the cassette teeth. Featuring a spring loaded return, duel density grips and extra length for leverage, it can easily be used with one hand to hold your cassette while you remove the lock nut.

Who's this for: Perfect for either the at home or professional mechanic looking for a quality cassette holding tool.

Cassette compatibility: Easily grips cogs from 9 to 24 teeth and is compatible with all cassettes from 5-12 speed.

Materials: Made from forged steel for extra strength and durability.

Pros: Easier to use than a chain whip, its 35cm length makes it easy to get plenty of leverage.

Cons: Although easier to use, its an expensive alternative to something that essentially does the same thing.
