Could you tell me why? Just curious to what kind of failures you've had with these tools. I've never broken any of my Park Tools, I still use a set of allen wrenches I bought at a flea market 12 years ago for $4, and a home made chainwhip that's held up like a champ.

I use the mini-brute and it does the job for me. The bigger one would be nicer to have, but the mb does the job. Note that I am not a mechanic, so I'm not breaking chains on a daily basis. For my occasional chain jobs, it does great. If I were to go FT, I would get a nicer version.
