The Pedros one with a pin looks good, but £30 for the pro socket handle is mad! Will it accept a standard socket wrench in the relevant size to save on the handle?
Any other recommendations? Preferably with a handle attached.
The Pedros vice whip looks very useful and is probably worth the money to change cassettes!
I've not got this but other ss tools have been good

Decathlon - pins that lock on to the cassette and a fixed handle on the lock ring tool.
Very well made and far far cheaper than anyone else.
I have an Abbey one. It's lush. http://www.abbeybiketools.com/products/single-sided-crombie
The Abbey equivalent would be http://www.abbeybiketools.com/products/whip-it-chain-whip , which is a bog standard chain whip.
Unior tools have a two-sided one with pins: http://www.uniortools.com/cgi-bin/cms.cgi?doc=10780&prod=44586 (seems to be the one recommended as Decathlon above)
Have not had any problems using the basic Shimano tool with an adjustable spanner and a generic chain whip
Lockrings aren't [i]that [/i]difficult to remove
Same as rocketman. Basic tool that needs a spanner. Can also be held in a vice. Basic chain whip made from an old chain and a bit steel bar. The decathlon tool looks pretty good though. Been recommended on here a few times.
