Not sure if everyone knows about this tool, but my friend has a self-contained cassette tool that uses the frame as a source of leverage, negating the need for a chain whip. It's a cassette spline nut with a small arm on the side with a rubber end that sits on the inside of the frame triangle. All u gotta do is turn the cranks and it releases the cassette securing sprocket.
