Could anyone recommend a chain tool for home use 9/10/11 speed as I have all three groupsets.

Probably need to buy two I suspect. One for riding and one for workshop style.

Will try and stay away from budget versions as they tend to bend or be too small to hold.

    Edit I was thinking of Park Tool for the workshop version.

    The cheaper Park Tools Brute chain tool has served me fine for years. No need to get anything else.

    A decent multitool will serve both purposes and do all three.

    But, Quicklinks make it almost superfluous.

    When fitting a new chain, you'll still need a chain tool.

    I've used the park tool folding version (currently CT6.3) for several years.

    I bought the Park Tool Brute CT-5 yesterday and tried it out. Works ok on Shimano 11-speed chain.
    Still need quite strong hands to get the pin out for enough leverage. Easy once the pin is out

    Thanks all for the advice.
