I have the campy tool but never use it anymore. I much prefer using a quick link, so I can remove the chain for cleaning. I also use at least 3 chains in a rotation to avoid ever having new-chain skip. I never toss a chain prematurely in an effort to prevent chain skip.

I've used campy chains for 6000 miles that have little elongation, but the rollers were severely worn down and the side clearances twice that of a new chain. Using a single chain that long will cause new-chain skip, even though the chain has less than .5% elongation.
