IF you are going to only swap wheels seasonally, you might want to just buy the tools to swap the cassette back & forth.
Lock ring tool (Park FR-5?)
Chain whip
1" wrench

Although it's pretty much flat where I live, my "summer" & "winter" gearing is different.
Winter, I tend to be bundled up, cold and my conditioning falls off. I swap to lower gearing.
Summer is the opposite, so I go higher.
12-23 & 13/14-25.
Since I service the hub seasonally, I remove the cassette anyway.
