With most modern 1X cassettes being as large as a dinner plate, you can use another chainring or sprocket to jam a chain when you need to take off a cassette locker

I have had it for probably a year or more and recently wanted to remove my cassette for yearly maintainance and thought I'd give it a go as I never want to use a chain whip. Can't recommend it enough!
