What Our Gearhead Experts Are Saying: "I use this with the Shop Crombie every day and it just feels right. The longer handle gives better control under load, and the heavier chain stays wrapped when things get tight. It's solid without being awkward inside a wheel."Cassette removal is one of those tasks where a weak tool immediately shows its limits. The Shop Whip It Chain Whip is built for repeated shop use, giving us the leverage and stability needed to manage stubborn lockrings without fighting the tool. Designed and manufactured by Abbey Bike Tools in Bend, Oregon, it's meant to be the natural companion to a shop-duty cassette tool. The extended handle length maximizes leverage while still fitting inside a 700c or 29 wheel, and the welded steel tang adds stiffness where it matters most. A reinforced chain sourced from KMC E-bike applications resists stretching and pin failure under heavy torque, while integrated magnets help keep the chain wrapped on the cassette and neatly stowed between jobs. Heat-treated steel construction ties it all together for long-term durability.
