I haven't been able to find the Shimano tool either at the LBS (which does carry the Hozan) or online. Any others I should consider?

To be honest, while I would like a quality tool, I really don't want to spend over about $100 on it (less if possible) - I just really despise "cheap" tools. The Hozan is well within my price range, but I could go higher if the quality is that much better (whatever that means). I noticed Harris Cyclery has a "modified" Hozan tool that they claim to be more "slip resistant". Anyone try this one?

Also, maybe a stupid question, but do the Park chain tools work with 1/8" chains? I can't seem to find this information on their packaging or their website.

Thanks,
