Must Have for Any Home Mechanic
Rating:
The Good
well built, priced right, does what it is supposed to do, built in hex for use with park cassette removal tool (handy)
The Bad
not made out of carbon fiber (I don't know, grasping for straws here)
Overall Review:

I am not sure what to say, its a cassette removal tool, it works. I feel the handle is just the right size to be able to apply the right amount of leverage without being overkill.  You should get one and then come here and write your own review, sheesh.

SR-1 a quality tool, but nothing too special

The Good
Does the job as advertised, nice length and grip for extra leverage and comfort
The Bad
End for cassette tool isn't very useful, not quite as effective as new plier style chin whip
Overall Review:

The SR-1 Chain whip from Park tool is a quality piece of kit. While not as fancy as some of the new plier style chain whip tools, the SR-1 simply works. It has a nice feel to it, with a nice rubberized blue wrap, KMC chain and an end that fits most cassette tools.


I bought this tool when my cheaper whip from Nashbar broke, I probably could have just replaced the old chain that had snapped, but i wanted something of a higher quality and I knew Park Tool would be that. I have used this tool on everything from a 6 speed steel road bike to my 11 speed sram drivetrain. The tool fits each width fine and as long as it is used correctly, I have not had issues with the tool slipping or twisting. The tool is long enough that you can get alot of leverage on it, for extra torque breaking loose stubborn cassettes. The rubber grip makes it so the tool will not slip, and is comfortable when applying torque.


The end that is designed for fitting various cassette tools is nice, but you can only use it for tightening the cassette as the tool is holding the cassette in place when loosening. Since I already have the ratchet out for taking the cassette off I use the same ratchet to tighten it too, instead of

the chain whip. It is a nice touch, but not all that functional. Quality tool from Park that has yet to let me down. This tool is one of the essentials in my opinion no matter the size of the shop, and the SR-1 has the quality and functionality that will make the average mechanic happy as well as the professional in the shop.
