[Closed] Chain Link Tool

The expensive Park one has a replaceable pin and is a proper pro tool.

I snapped my years old mid priced one a few days ago and replaced it with a cheap one (wanted a park but lbs had no stock). This snapped second use (whilst being used correctly) so I took it back and ordered the Park ct-3.2 I originally wanted.

[anal] A slight correction, the replacement pins are £2.50 each, the £4.99 is for a pack of 2 [/anal]

And yes, can't go far wrong with Park,they're not subtle bits of engineering but they work, function over form.

Used to go though them like they were made of cheese till I got one of these:

I use the [url= http://amzn.to/1pCMwGV ]Park Tool Mini brute[/url]. Have done for years. Less than £10, light enough to take in the pack. One of the best buys ever has been the [url= http://amzn.to/1sx4yeV ]Park Tool Link remover[/url]. Saved loads of hassle removing the new non-usable (apparently) SRAM power links. This tool makes swift work of opening the chain out.

Thanks. I will take a look at the Park Tool one I think. What I would have given for a replaceable pin last night!!! Ended up fashioning one out of a nail and managed to bodge the SRAM link off.

Bit of a panic as the bike is needed for a race tonight and at one point it was unrideable!

I have had one of the tools for years but it has never come across a SRAM 10 speed link before!

Edit: Didn't strike me until cycling in this morning that I had a third tool in my commuting toolbag!!!!
