How're you meant to use it on it's own to remove a cassette?? If you use the chainwhip to secure the cassette, you can't use the hex opening for the lockring socket, and vice versa... so you need two tools??
stoooopid... me, or the tool? 😕
If its this one:

Then yes, can't disagree...
But you did buy it...
that's the one... I bought it as part of a set of 2nd hand tools off here, tried using it for the first time today and suddenly realised the folly of it all...
If you're so clever why not design one tool to do the job then 🙄
don't think you can... but why combine the two in the first blingin place? 😆
buy a cheap oil chain wrench froma motor factors only a few quid and does the same job as chain whip
I don't really get this tool. Why waste 22 quid when you can just wrap your chain round the cassette then stand it and undo the lockring?
edit: thought you meant a different tool

Back in the day we had the Pamir Hypercracker which did just that 🙂

You don't need the chainwhip for tightening up the lockring nut...thats when you use the hex end with the lockring socket.
I've been after one of those for ages all the pies
_tom_ try undoing a fixed cog with that method ...
id love a hypercracker too !

But how would you get it off in the first place...
I've got a Hypercracker if anyone wants one. £10 posted recorded in UK.
yes please you were looking for one for me before and i forgot to remind you 😉
My wife bought me a Pedros Vise Whip for Christmas

I doubt I'd go back as it's much more secure to use than regular chain whip.
Take a piece of 2x2 & nail an old piece of chain to one end - there, you have the perfect chain whip
