Park Tool FR-1.3 Freewheel Remover Shimano Uniglide Tool,Black

It's a very simple tool that unlocks a Freewheel Cassette. I'm not a fan of Park Tool. Sure, they make great products, but they're way overpriced and are geared towards professionals rather than DIYers. However, this tool should fit into everyone's budget and gets the job done. And with Park Tool, you can expect the quality to be top notch, so I expect this to last. To use the tool is simple: unmount the wheel from the bike, insert the tool into the freewheel, then use a wrench or socket to loosen the freewheel. Once it's loose enough, you can unscrew it with your hands. Easy peezy. Overall, I'm satisfied with this purchase and would recommend it.

As a bike mechaanic who’s purchased dozens of PARK TOOL FR-1.3 Freewheel Removers for Shimano freewheels, I can’t recommend this tool enough! It’s incredibly durable, it fits Shimano and compatible freewheels perfectly. The 12-spline design ensures a secure grip, making removal quick and effortless, even on stubborn freewheels. Its compact size is easy to handle, and it pairs seamlessly with a 1-inch wrench or vise for those had to remove freewheels. After heavy use, it shows no signs of wear. For the price, the FR-1.3 is a reliable, high-quality tool that’s a must-have for any bike mechanic!

apparently the nut that held my cassette onto the hub was so loose that I did not know, that when I put my ratchet on this tool and held my cassette sprockets with a leather glove to attempt to loosen it, the ratchet just fell down all by itself and the nut about fell out all by itself. But when I repaired my loose cassette gears flopping loosely by re peening the 3 large rivets, it made my cassette like new again with no movement at all. NOT even a smidgen. and the say there is NO adjustment for these cassette's. NOT. This tool helped me to torque that nut to hold my cassette to the hub securely this time. It did that crunching torque sounds as you hear in the video's of them torquing that nut. Great tool.

I ordered this after being stuck with the wrong random tool that came in a kit from temu that didn't work. A park tool video on how to remove the different kinds of free wheels helped me decide for this recommended tool. It worked like a charm. The free wheel came off with a bit of help from a wrench and this tool. It fitted great. I have an old GMC bike with a sunbelt freewheel. The tool is sturdy, easy to use, and save be money by bit having to go buy another wheel.

Bike tools are new to me but buying a tool that I will only use once in a while is nothing new to me but is something I am not a fan of, because I feel it can be a waste of money. Now I don't have these anymore but for example back when I was really into Electronics: Computers, Video Game consoles and Handheld Video Game consoles etc., I needed a tri-wing screwdriver for one of my handhelds, and a special security screwdriver set for my home game consoles. (Which I had gotten from my Aunt and Uncle for Christmas several years back) to remove the screws holding the shells of the item together in case I needed to service the inside. Sorry to get off topic... Anyways in a similar way, I needed specialty tools for my bike as I did for my former Electronics venture. I needed a Freewheel Remover tool to get my freewheel off, something I may use once in a blue moon. At first, I called Park Tool Customer Service and asked and told me to get the Park Tool 5.2 cassette Remover tool and bought a Park Tool 5.2 Cassette remover tool. However, after trying to put the tool in it didn't do anything. It wasn't until I watched a video that realized what I had was a Freewheel, not a Cassette. Once I got the Park Tool FR-1.3 freewheel remover tool the tool was amazing, it did the job perfectly! I was able to get my freewheel off with ease and realized that there was no way I could remove my freewheel without this Freewheel remover tool. Park Tool tools and products are not cheap but in the long run, save money because 85% of them are American made for the most part while the remaining 15% are made overseas. That's not bad all things considered. Unlike getting cheap non-brand/off brand name tools that are made overseas! Then again it all depends on the manufacturer, quality of the product and the price and it comes down to what one can afford. So I'm happy that I bought this. It got the job done, and I've used on a clients bike as well. Definitely going to buy the other freewheel tools!

Got here, and worked just fine. Used this on my Shimano MF-TZ21 freewheel.

good quality tool, much better than the slighlty cheaper version. larger diameter than the cast version i bought before.

I put this thing in a vise and torqued it down like crazy trying to get the freewheel off. Technically not covered under warranty but they immediately sent me another one. 5 stars because the tool is incredible quality (the splines held up) and their customer service is fantastic. Word of caution: don’t put it in a vise directly. It’s a little circle of metal. It’s very durable but no amount of fancy engineering is going to magically make it hold up to that much force. Instead of a vise, YouTube how to remove a stuck freewheel. You use an impact socket and a very long breaker bar, then you hold the wheel against the floor/wall to keep it from spinning. The leverage against the wall holds the wheel in place while the very very long breaker bar removes the freewheel.
