Pedro's Vise Whip (10) | $69.99
BikeRadar verdict
"Rock-solid hold on standard cassette cogs with no chance of slippage"
Pedro's clever Vise Whip may be more expensive than standard chain whips but once you use one you'll never go back – and for shop mechanics who swap cassettes on a daily basis, it's a must-have.
The adjustable steel jaws wrap around a cog and, like the everyday vice whip upon which it's based, they lock on tightly and securely with no chance of slippage (shop mechanics: think of the last time you slammed your knuckles into the benchtop).
The Vise Whip has a more substantial handle than a regular chain whip, too, which can be particularly useful for stubborn lockrings (even though it's a tad short).
The jaws are adjustable to fit cogs from 11-23T but we set it for a 13T sprocket since nearly every cassette has one and never needed to change it.
The jaws aren't wide enough to fit around 1/8in track cogs but aside from that, there isn't a single fault we can think of.

Manufacturers description

This has to be the best tool I have bought this year, particularly as I never really got on with normal chain whips. Recommended!

What a great tool. I hate using chain whips and this looks to be the answer. The number of times I've nearly skinned my knuckles. Will be getting one of these in the near future!

Some online retailers are selling it for just 30 quid. I'm very tempted.

am I missing something? I've never had a chainwhip slip, even when I was working in a bike shop.
It does look nice though.

User review of Pedro's Vise Whip (10)
leonlikestrees:
You're right in that a chain whip *shouldn't* ever slip. But it's always a possibility depending on how worn the cogs are and how much wrap you're getting (in other words, whether you've got it on a 15T cog vs. a 34T). With this thing there is zero chance of slippage even with severely worn cogs and regardless of which cog you use.
