That tool is no more - it's an ex-tool, since I tried to break a wholly rusted 1/8" chain, with it. The pin bent sideways and since I can't buy spares, the tool is lost. (It may have been user error, but I have replaced so many chains by now, that I doubt)

So my question for you is: from your personal experience, can you please suggest a durable chain tool (other than the Rohloff Revolver, which is great but a bit expensive and overkill)?


Thank you, thank you, thank you.
