In buying KMC 10s chains, it is random which one comes in the box, and there is nothing printed on the box to give a clue.
Just buy the Park MLP-1 tool, and any of them can be removed in a second.
And BTW they can all be reused.
Good info, thanks. I'll keep this in mind if I decide to go for one of those bling anodized KMC chains at some point in the future
