Chain tool

Is this tool a good one to buy for my Rockrider 8.1. I am doing the South Down in a few weeks, I already got the SRAM Powerlinks, thanks

I know that the Park tool will probably be better, but like always I am on a budget unfortunately.

Looks just like the one we used when doing the SDW a few weeks back. Mate crashed, snapped rear dérailleur hanger and we had to convert to a single speed as he don't have a spare hanger.
Good luck with the ride

Parktools aren't always cheap but this little one works better than my big toolbox one

Shop around you can get them a bit cheaper.

and that one's more comfortable to handle.

If and when they get stock

I wouldn't get it from there anyway, you can pick em up slightly cheaper elsewhere usually. Long gone the days when you used to be able to get nailed on regular good deals from them.

I'll still stick with my Mini Brute.

I wouldn't go swapping if I already had a park tools one. The lezyne is similar size just has a marginally bigger handle to 'manhandle' with and has a thumb dent.

Thanks guys for the advice. I will get one or the other depending and availability and price. i may as well spend a few more quids and get something that is going to work.
