I also have the Feedback tool and it works great. No more whips for me.

I had a super stuck cassette once, and I wound up using a cheater bar. I don't remember the exact details, but I did bend the Park Tool. It's just a little too flexy.

After that, I made one out of an old tubular jack handle, an old chain, and a set of bolts. That got the job done and worked for years.

Eventually, I got the Abbey chain whip. It's a very nicely finished tool.

That Stein hyper handle looks fantabulous, though.

I am a convert to the pliers style tool from the traditional chainwhip, not going back ever.

I like pliers, although the Pedros always made me wonder if I was going to hurt the cassette. I like the looks of the Feedback pliers.

At home I have an ancient chain whip which works fine.

Hozan.

The Vice Whip and a Abbey Tools Crombie Tool.

JA Stein hyper handles are what I have used for years. They work great.

I have a Hozan C-62 and it's great.

It's got a longer chain that's attached on both ends with a spring to give a little tension which makes it much easier to keep the chain on the cassette as compared to a typical chain whip.

This. The hyperhandle + and Abbey Crombie is by far my fastest combo. I also have an old Pedro Vise pliers, which comes in a close 2nd. Haven't used the feedback but it looks good too.

My park chain whips haven't seen the light of day in years.

Excellent tools

+1 to using pliers, I have the Park Tool ones.
But the hyper handle has piqued my interest.

I’ve been using the old Pedro’s cog wrench (similar to that JA Stein tool) for well over a decade. As long as you only need to remove 11T and 12T cogsets, I don’t think you’ll need anything else; I certainly haven’t, as it works great, seems indestructible, and doesn’t take up as much space as a whip.

Another vote for the Pedros Vise Whip. A really great tool, much more secure than a regular whip. I haven't been back to a standard whip since I bought this.

Yup - that's the ultimate combination of tools.
