I've looked at Park. I just thought there might be another brand worth considering.
Rohloff has a shop premium quality chain tool

Took A ct5 on a few bike tours , its almost unused ..

Still have the cyclo chain tool I got 40 years ago ..

pople break the upper fingers off chain tools by not knowing their function
is just to de-compress tight links .
and make their error pushing the pin out, there, and applying force with no backing..



If you want a new one , just looking at the website, the revised 6.3 now includes the ability to Peen
the pin to, hopefully, restore some of the pin to plate fitting, the peening of the chain making machine
does in the factory ..

putting a dent in the end of the pin, to expand the end so as to tighten up the fit in the stretched hole
created by pressing out the pin in the 1st place..
