I prefer the Shimano lockring/chainwhip for the long handle and grip. I don't like the Hozan so much because it friggin hurts the hand to use sometimes.

Second for eai cogs. Also important, get a good chain whip and a plier type lock ring tool. The hook type suck. It is really easy to make your own if you have the stuff around to do it.

Lock ring pliers are a bit pricey but worth every penny.
Lock ring spanners are inferior put in comparison of ease of use but they're still plenty useful provided you get a good one like from hozan or park. They just take more intuition and slightly more effort to use. So in a jam a month ago I bought the Park Chain Whip + Park Lockring wrench/spanner . Chain whip = great. Loved that you could use the hole at the bottom for a freewheel removal tool, that was a huge help seeing as I dont have a vice lying around at my tiny apt. Lockring wrench = ehhh. Definitely had a hard time getting the right angle + a good grip. Just looked up how to make my own, looks fun. I love a good mini project + home made specialized tools. |
