Which chain tool do you like

[stephenmarklay]

I remembered I broke mine so I need to order on quick like. I doubt I will be using a campy chain anytime soon but if there is a good tool that is not super expensive that does them it wouldn't hurt.

I most just need to cut an 11speed. I am likely just going to be using KMC.

Any chain tool will push the pin out of an 11 speed chain if you are planning to use a quick link.

Campagnolo. Nothing else is close.

Park Tools has always worked for me and every iteration has gotten better and better.

KMC quick link pliers. I only use KMC chains now, don't want to deal with shimano/campy pins..

In a pinch, for a KMC quick link, you can use a piece of derailleur cable to painlessly break the link. Just put one end through the small link either side of the quick link, then cross, and pull tight, like you are snugging up a shoe lace.

I can vouch for this.

I can also caution against assuming the SRAM Power LOCK is the same as a quick LINK. And spending 20 minutes on the side of the road wrestling with the chain before you figure that one out. (Guess how I learned that one.)
