3/8 cassette lockring tool

[joss]

Looking for good quality cassette lockring tool that I can put on my 3/8 drive ratchet.

Personally, I like a cassette driver with a center pin as that makes it less likely to slip out of and potentially damage the lockring. With a 3/8" square socket on the other side of the driver there would be nowhere for the pin to fasten.

So I'd simply get an adapter. Park Tool has one of those, with part number 1660.

If you want a cassette driver with 3/8" square socket anyway, Rock Shox makes one that is fairly cheap. Or if you want something fancier, Pedros, Abbey Bike Tools and I am sure others do make similar tools as well.

The centre pin isn't compatible with some hubs (QR), so some of us definitely need one without it.

I have this Cyclus one https://www.bike24.com/p28485.html

Cheap, seems high quality.

I'd say rockshox is your best bet if it must be a 3/8 drive: https://amzn.to/4iork7m

However, I personally would recommend a dedicated tool such as this: https://amzn.to/3B3TOTr

Note, I also recommend a guide pin if you have an XDR cassette as it's pretty easy to cross thread since they're at the back of the cassette rather than an easily hand threaded front locking on Shimano HG.

How about no pin tool , but using the skewer to losely hold the cassete tool, with an extra deep socket? That is my solution ... I had to take the cassete tool to the local tool store. : ) but it's great I never worry about cassete tool slipping : )

Not the answer to your question, but I love the Abbey Crombie tool with the built-in handle. Cassette fitting is not sensitive to torque measurement, and using this is a pleasure.

I have the Abbey tool. It's a piece of jewelry, just perfect, utterly decadent. I want to change cassettes just to be able to use it...
