Title: Chain Tool-which one??
Post by: DucatiSTi on March 08, 2009, 02:59:03 PM

Hi

In the market for a chain tool

Which one should I get? Looking for quality - one that will do a good job but will not break the bank.

BTW, I have a M696

Thanks

I bought my chain tool here
http://www.mikesxs.net/products-7.html?category_id=7.1 (http://www.mikesxs.net/products-7.html?category_id=7.1)

$20 and nearly identical to the one sold by CA cycleworks.

I use the Motion Pro chain tool (link) (http://pitposse.stores.yahoo.net/moprochbrrit.html)
whatever you decide on, just get a good one that you can buy replacement parts for! I can't stress that part enough, I had a "friend" (a mechanic) borrow mine and for some reason he used the smallest pin intended for small cam chains on his 525 chain and broke it... Cost just a few $ to replace the pin rather than having to buy a new tool.

That's the one that I have and I've been completely happy with it. Except I remember it costing less when I purchased it. Ask Chris for the DMF discount. ;)

I've got an honest to goodness DID tool for about $115 and the other for $20.00. I've used em both several times and the only difference is made in Japan and made in China.
