best chain link tool?

on-yer-bike

The PRO one I have just broke after only a few uses. A lug broke off. Any recommendations? Its for 10 speed chains.

I have one of these - plenty of use (regular, although not daily/weekly, to be fair) and still going strong...

I've had one of these for about 15 years and it's never let me down once, it's still on the original pin.

Only time I managed to break a lug off a chain tool I realised I'd put the chain in the wrong place when pushing out the pin; I'd used the location for spreading / loosening. :oops:

I'll second Topeak. Had one of these for a while now and it's really good.

As a rule everything Park makes is good so that's also an option.

Ay good suggestions for a 11spd Shimano tool - that you can place for on the go or as part of a multi-tool?

(sorry thread hack)

Buy two. A small one to take on the road with you and a larger shop style one for home use. I don't know about others but the small, take along on rides ones are usually a pain in the *ss to use whereas the bigger shop style tools allow you to put more power into the job.
