Ahh, thanks.

So, it has to fit the skewer and freewheel remover tool. It does, however, look like a nice design.

I still think one could modify any freewheel tool to work like that. Threading it would be a nice touch (also make sure the skewer isn't sticking out and damaged in the extraction process)

Actually, with a splined remover, one could just use pressure against the guardrail to hold it in place. so it would simply need the "horns" added, or even cut out, without using the skewer.

Chain whip provisions would still be needed for a cassette.
