I worked with off brand, etc tools for years and got by, but every time I used a quality tool vs an ok tool it was a revelation just how much better a park chain breaker is vs cheapo

best tool investment was a good stand (and I spent more money trying to DIY a good stand then the good stand cost....money wasted)

specialize tolls such as a quick link wrench seem a luxury.... until they make your life 20 times better and a 1000% les frustrating

My advice is buy quality if it is a specialized tool, there fit better, feel better and do the job enough better to make a difference

but have fun with the bike, post a pic and ride
