Park CP-1.2 Cassette Pliers
An easy-to-use alternative to a traditional chain whip, the CP-1.2 securely holds any cassette in place for lockring removal.
The CP-1.2 is a tool we reach for, not one we simply resell. Park Tool design and manufacture it in Minnesota; ProWheelBuilder is an independent wheel builder in Georgia and a Park stockist, not the manufacturer.
What it does
Before a rear wheel can be rebuilt the cassette has to come off, and the splines only forgive an exact match. The wrong remover slips and burrs the lockring.
What Park say about it
- The CP-1.2 securely grips 9 to 24-tooth cassette cogs when removing cassette lockrings
- Fast and easy one handed operation made from forged steel with a spring loaded return and dual density grips
- 13.7"/35cm in length

About this listing
Sold here as a single tool. Unlike the rims and hubs we list, nothing gets built around it — it ships as it comes.
How we use it at ProWheelBuilder
Everything Park we stock is something we use ourselves. We would rather carry a short list we trust than a long one we have never opened. So if you are buying the CP-1.2 to build or maintain your own wheels and you are not certain it is right for the job, ask us. We would rather point you at the correct tool than sell you the wrong one twice.
Park's kit is the industry default largely because it is documented. Their repair guides reference these exact tools, and they keep making them.

CP-1.2 questions
Do you ship tools on their own?
Tools ship alone, usually the same day the order lands.
Is this the right one for my wheels?
Tell us what you are working on and we will tell you straight. A drivetrain tool has to fit the part exactly; the wrong size does damage rather than work.
Not sure? Text or leave a voicemail on 470-253-0929 or email info@prowheelbuilder.com — you will be talking to the people who build the wheels.
