I am thinking about getting a Park ct-5 chain tool versus something smaller / lighter that might be part of some sort of multi. I've needed a chain tool only a very small number of times over many years. I have never had a chain fail on the road. Is the park worth it's weight and size for carrying in a road kit? It seems like a bit much for a tool that does only one thing, especially when that one thing is so unlikely.


Though I need the chain tool now to replace a chain, I'm putting together the usual sort of carry-along bike tool kit for my road trips. I haven't decided whether to build upon separate tools or a multitool.

Thanks for your thoughts,
Harry
