Forged from durable 45# carbon steel with a chrome-plated finish, these pliers deliver the strength and leverage required for stubborn drivetrains. The 300 mm length provides ample leverage, while the plier-style grip locks securely onto sprockets from 7 to 12-speed setups, streamlining maintenance for home mechanics and busy workshops alike.
Designed to simplify cassette swaps, the tool also includes an FRM-15 lockring removal tool to complete your servicing kit. It eliminates chain slap and awkward positioning, making routine drivetrain cleaning and cassette replacement quick and hassle-free.

When breaking loose a tight cassette lockring, squeeze the plier handles firmly against each other to lock the sprockets securely before applying torque to your lockring tool. This prevents slipping and protects your fingers from sharp teeth if the lockring pops loose suddenly.
