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

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

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.
