    An upgrade from my old school FR5 without the guide pin, I concluded that it’s a lot less faff with a pin v reinstall the skewer, plus it is then practical to use a socket and torque wrench instead of a spanner. Works well and seems to be the usual good quality from Park Tool. Alas I then also then “required” an FR5 with a through axle sized pin too for my turbo trainer but you can never have too many tools in the man cave / lady lair so it’s all good, right?

    The CA Proposition 65 notice on the packaging is a little unclear, does it apply to the materials of the socket itself or the plastic packaging?

    Works great. Easily slots in for shimano HG free hubs and has a solid steel body to wrench on.

    The guide pin ensures that the teeth in tool align with the lockring. I’m sure the lockring tools without guide pins can work as well. But when you are bearing down on the wrench to break the lockring free, the last thing you want is the lockring tool slipping partially out of the lockring. The pin prevents that from happening.

    Easy to use, but you will need a chain-whip. This type is for wheels with 5mm skewers, very common quick release type.

    It’s a right hand thread. I just put a towell over the cassette and hold it. A box end wrench and a little tap … done.

    I ordered this for my Giant Sedona Mountain Bike. I needed to remove the freewheel but when I went to insert this into my freewheel it didn’t fit. I should have done a little more research before getting this but I’m only out $10 dollars so I’m not worried about it. The tool that did fit was the Park Tool Freewheel Remover FR-1.3
    This tool, the FR-5.2g, although wasn’t the right size, is a high quality made tool. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy other tools made by Park. I gave this 4 stars due to the wrong size, that’s it.

    The Park Tool FR- 5.2G Cassette Lockring Tool is a professional grade tool. A lock ring tool is a basic tool that should be in your home bike kit. The FR-5.2G is well made & should last a lifetime of use, maybe 2. It constructed of a tough heat treated Tool steel w/12 splines for Shimano, Stan & SunRace cassettes & some dusk brake lock rings by Shimano. It has a diameter of approximately 23.4mm. The 5mm guide pin is designed for use on hollow quick release axils. The guide pin helps to stabilize the tool while your using it. This is really helpful when removing an old, stuck on or rusted cassette. The FR-5.2G can be used w/an adjustable wrench or a 1” (25.4mm) socket. A ratchet cannot connect directly to the FR-5.2G.

    I used the FR-5.2G when upgrading my Shimano 8sp cassette w/a SunRace 10sp cassette. I previously had been using a FR-5.2 (w/out pin guide) & really appreciate the pin guide.

    I know there are other cassette tools out there for less, but for something I’ll be using for regular maintenance like cleaning, I believe the little extra expense for Park Tool quality is worth it. Removing & cleaning your cassette is an often overlooked & forgotten bit of bike maintenance. It’s not difficult nor does it take very long to remove & clean your cassette periodically. This will definitely extend the life of not only your cassette but also the rest of your drivetrain.

    Thank you for taking the time to read my review. I hope it was helpful.

    Park tools are of course the standard, found in bike shops everywhere. This tool adds a pilot shaft to the standard design that makes using it just a little easier- and well worth the small extra cost.
