Reviews Nice Mid-Level Tool  by: on: 03-Oct 2009 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. Chain whip or lockring tool wrench?  by: on: 05-Jul 2009 It can't be both at the same time. If functions great as a chain whip. As a wrench for turning the lockring it leaves something to be desired. The chain hanging from the tool can get in the way and even "whip" around while trying to break the lockring free. Not to mention that you'll need two of these to actually accomplish the job since you can't hold the cassette in place with one end while turning the lockring tool with the other. Personally I use it as a chain whip and just use a long-handled crescent wrench or socket wrench for the lockring. Sometimes the old ways are still the best ways. Good value, well made chain whip. by: on: 26-Sep 2008 I bought this so that I would be able to repair my 2007 Schwinn Sierra GS with the DPN 13-34 Mega Gear freewheel ... Not a cassette duh ... oh well I have an extra tool for the neighbor kids to borrow. I know well made tools and this is a nice tool that will last if used occasionally by the shade tree mechanic ... unfortunately I am not yet a good bicycle mechanic and bought this along with the FR-5 cassette lock ring tool for my 13-34 Mega Gear Freewheel not to be confused with the Shimano Mega Range 13-34 freewheel ... the FR-5 does not fit the DPN Mega Gear 13-34 found on many low end bicycles. I believe the DPN 13-34 requires the Park FR-1 but until I speak to Park Tools I will not say for sure; I called Park Tool this week but their people were out of town at a seminar, I will call next week and find the correct tool for those who have the DPN ... as this freewheel is hidden in layers of companies and if my Asian searches are correct the company uses DNP in their literature not DPN as is stamped on the Schwinn freewheel, yes I am confused. I tagged this with several key words as I have spent months trying to find the replacement components I may need quickly when something breaks and I know there are many DPN Mega Gear owners that would like to do minor repairs but cannot find information on their bike that uses the 13-34 gear setup. A good tool if you look at all within this category and compare prices, for the professional I would purchase the heavier chain whip and maybe use this one with the more expensive one when TWO chain whips are required ... frequency of use is the keyword and do not neglect the SIZE of the chain if you have several bikes with WIDE sprockets where this would not hold a wider sprocket. Hooty Chain whip clones and the real thing by: on: 09-Nov 2007 This is the genuine article from Park ... I would recommend using this chain whip, or something high-quality, such as the TORX ST-501A. Removing a freewheel, simple as it sounds, if not done yearly, may result in a freewheel that is hard to remove as removing a tooth from a jaw, for example. It's important to have a spare chain whip, in case one breaks ... I had a cheap whip from the PRON toolkit, that just broke. Also, be sure to have PAINT THINNER / degreaser liquid nearby to clean the cassette, as well as a CHAIN SCRUBBER such as the TORX ST-790 which really cleans the inside very well from its semi-circular brush shape. Also handy, is WD-40, to loosen this up, and a small sledge hammer. A grease gun is essential, loaded with grease to lube up the inside of the ball-bearings allowing the wheel to rotate, and the regular detergent and high pressure water hose to clean potential dirt accumulated from mult years of neglect. Perhaps an extra cassette would be good, if you break off any tooth on the cassette during the process of removing the freewheel. View All Hand Tools |
