Park FR-5.2H Cassette Lockring Tool with Handle
A heavy-duty professional tool designed for the removal and installation of most cassette and disc brake lockrings with a 12-spline tool fitting.
The FR-5.2H is one of the tools that actually lives on our bench in Georgia. 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
Getting a cassette or freewheel off cleanly is the first step of most rear-hub jobs, including relacing a rear wheel. The fitting has to match the part exactly.
What Park say about it
- A reliable, professional option for cassette lockring removal and installation, with a long sturdy handle and a large passthrough hole that allows use without removing most quick release skewer nuts
- Same tool pattern as the FR-5H

About this listing
This is the FR-5.2H on its own. Tools ship by themselves rather than being built into anything, so it goes out the same day where we can.
How we use it at ProWheelBuilder
We are a wheel shop before we are a tool shop. The Park tools we list are the ones that earn a place on our own bench, not a catalog we resell sight unseen. If you are not sure the FR-5.2H is what your job needs, say so before you order — a quick question costs nothing and the wrong tool costs twice.
There is a reason the blue handles are everywhere: Park document their repair procedures publicly and build the tools to match, so the instructions stay valid for years.

Warranty
Park's warranty. Most Park Tool products carry a limited lifetime warranty against defects in material and workmanship. Pumps, stools, torque wrenches, electronic tools, motors and power supplies are covered for one year. Normal wear, misuse and damage from improper use are excluded.
ProWheelBuilder. Our own one-year warranty is a wheel warranty - it covers wheels we build, not tools or accessories. This item is covered by its manufacturer, as set out above.
Full terms are on our Policies & Warranty page.
FR-5.2H questions
Do you ship tools on their own?
Yes — tools go out separately. Only rims, hubs, spokes and nipples get built into a wheel before shipping.
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.
