Was looking at bicycle cassette removal tools and saw this abomination. That’s some sub harbor freight level quality right there.

You could probably make a cleaner part using a hammer and a chisel.

For a tool I’d only use a few times, I’d live with it if the price was right.

It does fill me with revulsion so that checks out.

It makes me feel uncomfortable to look at.

Pretty sure I could have made a better looking part as an apprentice, that’s just some hack level quality.

GLORY TO THE REPUBLIC!!!

Buy the Park tool, at least it will work. I think I’ve had the same park cassette tool for >20 years.
