Hi all,

I hope this isn't a repititious question:

Is the Campy 10 speed chain tool a necessity for working with 10 speed chains, or can you get away with using a Park Tool like the CT-3?

Thanks in advance for the help!

I think most Park chainbreakers are compatible with 10 speed chains. i could be wrong

Campi uses a connecting link when putting a chain back together, that's what the chain tool is for. Any chain tool can punch out the rivets, but putting the connecting link takes a glorified vice grip. I have successfully installed Campi connecting links with standard vice grips, but get a couple of extra connecting links, they are not designed to ever reuse.
