How do I use the chain tool in the Blackburn Airfix ?
Yesterday I was fiddling around with the Blackburn Airfix CO2 Inflator + Multi-Tool. I was trying to figure out how the chain tool works. There seems to be an Allen bolt on the side of it, but how could that make sense if the Allen keys are on the side of the Airfix, attached to it. What am I missing ?
Thanks for your help.

"Moreover, some of the tools on the AirFix are awkwardly positioned, making it difficult to access some bolts, or even completely impossible in some cases as we discovered on more than one occasion. The 4mm hex wrench, in particular, is almost laughable. Its matching 4mm bit length (yes, we said four) and inconvenient location on the end of the tire lever made it virtually unusable; we couldn't even loosen faceplate bolts on some stems when we tried to do a quick handlebar rotation on the road, and you can forget about making saddle adjustments on most two-bolt seatposts.
