must have 2 positions ( one for loosening tight links ) and not be a park CT5 as the thread was too easily stripped when encountering a tight rivet. thanks in advance

Log into the 'VIP' club and you should get another 10% off

I reckon the best thing about it is the head that pushes the chain pin isn't part of the chain tool threaded part, meaning the head stays put on the chain link pin instead of spinning off as you turn

The handle unscrews to make an extension for an allen key/multi tool for extra leverage

I've gopt one on my lezyne multi tool and the cheep multi tool I got from some online shop, one of the ones where the ends are made form a bit of a bar bent into an S arround the bolt heads, both cheep, both have worked flawlessly when needed.

These are just great. We now use them in the workshop as they have outlasted some expensive pro tools and are also dead cheap.
