Well nothing broke and I`m surprised the threads in the crank arm didn`t strip - but no-ones been able to seperate those two pieces in the past two years and sometimes we try just for fun. A socket and extension bar and vice aren`t enough there so I guess I`m not too expectant for results
I have a tendency to be both appalled and fascinated at the
various tool abuse souvenirs that show up in my own shop
at the Sacramento Bike Coop. There's a tool aficianado who
also works there that will soon have a stroke, I fear, if one
more hosed chain tool is handed to him.
For a while we used to hang the unfixable ones on the wall,
but we ran out of wall.
