A few weeks ago, I was wrenching with my lil grease monkey 3-year old son. He reaches into my bag and pulls out my chain tool. I had an instinct to take it away, but on the other hand, it was keeping him busy and quiet. Seconds later it was gone.

I'm not a superstitious guy, but experience has shown that chains break when there are no chain tools around. I tore apart the basement, pulled out all the toys from the box, and nothing. As for the young monkey, he wasn't talking.

I finally gave up, and bought a new one yesterday. Guess what I found today. Oy.
