That was the closest thing I could find to work at the LBS (plural). One guy told me to use the one tooth and and just hold it on with my other hand so it didn't slip . Yeah, gonna buy a wrench to use more leverage, and limit it by my left hands ability to hold it on as the added wrench torque tries to pull the tooth out.

Anyways, I happened to try the three tooth end and it worked. It's a little tight with a 1/8th surly cog and 1/8 KMC chain (not HD) but can still be used without pulling the chain off. Definatly glad I got that tool... feels very secure/tight.
