I've been asked 'how do I get cogs off with a tool that is short".
The Cobra was designed with a nod to the EAI Keirin tool, for portability and convenience. Both tools will lack a little leverage because of the length, but there is a trick.
As everyone knows, shorter lever means less leverage, so the trick (use more starting force) to using the Cobra when you've been 'kicking' heavy standing starts, and the cog is a little more stuck than usual, is what I have called 'The Bump'. Make sure your knuckles are away from the spokes, paracord wrap the handle and you have a good lock on the teeth of the cog before you pop down. https://youtu.be/npwTbROBmog
Cobra bump. Make sure the handle is wrapped.
