No wear visible yet. No parts to break as its just threaded, so no springs(what would they be for anyways?).
Small enough to store in a pouch on a ride if you want, but provides plenty of leverage and has removed pins from some horrifically rusted and gunked chains.
This. It's the only one I've ever used, except for a brief foray with the Walmart one. I've recently bit the bullet and switched to quick links (which is the only type of chain I can buy locally). Once I picked up the Park quick link pliers I am a much happier man.
