They use the same method (you measure a number of links that are a specific size) but I've never seen one of those tools you hook around 1 link and have a 0.5, 0.75 and 1% wear scales on it.

They have sequential gearboxes, similar to cars. Most bikes nowadays have 6 gears (mine both do)

Huge debate over this. Also is WD40 a suitable lubricant!? Do O-ring swell or perish with WD40?

Nope, they don't have the same kind of horizontal play that bicycle chains need to move between gears so they never come off if properly tensioned and adjusted.
