I have seen the LBS use and like the other posts point out it does appear to be faster.
My question: Does it clamp on the teeth or the spacers?

Interesting never noticed this one before been just using my chain whips, think I will make me some jaws for one of my old vice clamps and see how I like it.

Been using one at the shop for a year or so. It works fine and is holding up well. I prefer the J.A. Stein Hyperhandle though, it's faster and easier to use than the Pedro's tool or a chain whip.

I tend to fumble a bit to get two whips postioned on a frewheel correctly before I tug on the whip handles. you really need three hands to get it done quickly. I could see who w vise whip could probably help....but at 70 bucks. maybe I'll just get two 22 dollar whips from Park instead. I like their long handles which would come handy with real tight cogs. The Spin Doctor whips I use seem to be just a tad too short to deal with the real tough ones.
