So I'm looking to 'upgrade' my current chain splitter - Park CT-5, which is great for taking out & about etc. but want something a bit bigger and easier on the hands for the workshop.

I've been looking at these two:

Pro Team Chain Tool Chain Rivet tool


PRO Chain Tool, 9, 10, 11 & 12-speed compatible

The 'Team' comes with an extra pin, which is handy.
Any other recommendations?

Having recently broke my Topeak one, on someone else's chain, which I've had for years I've just replaced it with a Decathlon one

https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/900-bike-chain-tool/_/R-p-100390

Used it twice and cant fault it. Its not something I would take on the trail with me but the SWAT tool suffices for that

The Decathlon one looks like a decent buy - thanks.

While I don't rate their cable cutter the Park CT-3 has been faultless over the years. I notice the CT 3.3 now does 12 speed.

Can the pin be changed on that Decathlon one, looks a bit rough on the close up, reminds me of the spring rolls I burnt last week, my broken one has a nice smooth chrome pin that might swap over.
