      I don’t know for sure but because of the name maybe the 12.2 has another type of chain (12 Speed drivetrains)? Why they would do that I don’t know. 🤷‍♀️

      From the ParkTool website:

      > The SR-18.2 Chain Whip securely engages 1/8″ fixed-gear sprockets and single-speed cassettes during the removal process, making it an essential tool for bike maintenance. The SR-18.2 also incorporates a 1″ box-end wrench to drive Park Tool Freewheel & Cassette Lockring Tools.

      > The SR-2.3 is a sturdy, professional chain whip built for daily use. Securely holds all 7-to-13 speed road and mountain bike cassettes, including SRAM® eTap® AXS® & Shimano® XTR® 12-speed systems, as well as single-speed cassettes with a 3/32″ cog.

      If I were in the market today I’d prob get Pedro’s Pro Chain Whip II because it’s a little more versatile and the retention hook is a genuinely great little innovation on the classic whip. The handle looks less shitty than the previous version’s too, and that was the only meaningful weakness of that product.

      Of these three, the SR-2.3 would get my vote, mostly because it has a great looking handle and would probably be the easiest to use.

      I have a regular chain whip but for easier use I would like a chain plier. The whip is a little finicky when you’re also holding a cassette tool
