The bane of my life, by far: The chain rivet tool. Every. Single. One now, as of tonight, that I've ever used in my life has broken. Be it folding chain guide teeth, handles coming apart, threads stripping themselves, to the constant peening anvil snapping, to the whole tool body sheering in two, on one occasion with those shitty, cheap 'quick fix' Bell ones from Asda. Frankly, how they get away with charging money for such lack of quality is astonishing...
Even the 2 pricier Park Tools I've had (3.2, 4.3) have also broken, again the anvil just breaking clean off both. For what can be quite an expensive tool, most seem so poorly made, which leads me to the question - Which chain tools do you have good experiences with and that you prefer?
Feel free to add negatives and bad brands as well, please.
