What good is a Shop Crombie tool without the matching whip? There's a little more that went into the Shop Duty Whip-It than the matching Crombie. We stuck with the proven construction of a machined tang welded into a handle. We did add some length to the handle, as much as we could while still fitting inside a 700c/29'er wheel and of course it got the matching grip. We also worked with KMC to get some more robust chain from their E bike chain. These chains have a 28% stronger pin design that helps them stay together when your wrist rolls under heavy torque. We also widened the tang everywhere the chain doesn't attached to add stiffness and give the chain more support. Then we heat treat everything to get the most out of the steel. The other little tweak we did involves magnets. Now we don't pretend to understand how magnets work but they're kind of handy for keeping the chain wrapped around the cassette and keeping the chain stowed when not in use. We're also offering these as parts for the existing Whip-It. Made in Bend Oregon.
