Several times a day it's used: push the wheel onto the tool, spin counterclockwise and off comes the free wheel. our 1st one lasted 2 years til too stripped, then made another.
Other than that, all other FW, Cassette and BB removers are on a spinning carousel we call the 'spline tree'.

I've been in co-ops where they have neat ways of displaying the various freewheel and cassette tools, like on a board next to the hub types they fit. Is YOUR shop one of these? (Or do you just have 'em jumbled unhelpfully all together in a bin like we do?) Send a pic of what you got!
tldr: show us your rad way of housing freewheel/cassette tools that makes it easy for folks to find the right one.
EXTRA CREDIT: same question re bottom bracket tools!
