Cassette removal tools???

How on earth are you supposed to tell which cassette removal tool to use?
I've already bought the Cyclo SHG tool but it is too short

I don't want to waste more cash on the wrong tools.
Sadly I don't recollect the cassette brand I bought but I attach a photo. Not sure how useful it is; the cassette is about 2/3 years old.
Many thanks

Seems freewheel to me not cassette.0

I was going to suggest it was a Shimano Uniglide cassette (http://sheldonbrown.com/k7.html#uniglide) but I don't think they've been made for a long time.
Is it a cassette or is it a screw on freewheel?
That tool you've linked to looks like it's for a cassette lockring (http://www.socaltrailriders.org/forum/a ... 1265152812 - the red bit) which I can't see in the photo making me think it's a freewheel. These need a similar looking but slightly different tool, and I think you need to take the axle out to take it off.0 -
apologies.... I meant freewheel0

It's definitely a one piece free wheel and with thread0

It's a freewheel and requires a freewheel remover tool like this to take it off. You will need to remove the QR skewer but should not have to remove the axel nut/axel at all. The splines on freewheel tools are usually longer and differently spaced to those on a cassette tool. Either put the tool in a bench vice and the wheel onto it, then turn the wheel anti clockwise, or use a spanner on the tool itself if you don't have a vice.0
