I'm trying to build up my component changing knowledge and have just bought a replacement cassette and chain for my 9 speed Shimano Tiagra gears. I have the chain whip and now need to purchase the correct cassette lockring removal tool. Just took a look and there seem to be a number of different ones. I know it needs to have 12 splines to fit the cassette, but want to make sure I get the correct one. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Or http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/shim ... p-prod1056 with an appropriately sized socket and bar... (I think it's a 15/16" socket but don't quote me on that)0

Or get one of these for not much more:

Includes the cassette tool and quite a few other bits that you might sooner or later need once you start being your own mechanic.0 -
I have the Shimano TL-LR15 the one with the locating pin linked to by Man of Lard, which I use to undo cassette lock rings, it gives a secure fit. I also have the TL-LR10 which has a 1/2" square drive so can be used with a torque wrench and an impact wrench. That is not to say you cannot use the TL-LR15 with a socket and torque wrench or combination spanner/adjustable wrench.0
