No, I'm not going to clean the bike more often just to practice using the stupid cleaner

Have an old one- must have bought it about 15 years ago- and it works perfectly. Only cost me about £5. The retaining clip to hold it to the derailler is broken so I have to hold it in place- and The generous supply of spare wheels and brushes is coming to an end- so I might be joining you shortly in swearing at the "New" Chain tool that I buy to replace it.
