• really unexciting purchase but my multitool has finally given up the ghost.

    Any recommends for a replacement, sane price, with chain breaker. Not fussed about CO2 or any of that bollocks?

    Looking at Park I Beam but the allen keys look really short.

  • IMHO Park are the BLB of tools: frequently just rebranded, often shit and always overpriced (with a few niche exceptions, such as their brake mount facing tool).

    I did spend some time looking into them for a pal and he's been happy with whatever it was. I think it was a Topeak and have asked him to let me know (I do remember that it had a nifty tool to hold your chain together while you sort the quicklink out and came in a pouch).

  • I’ve yet to find anything that works as well as a ct-5 Mini Chain Brute.

    I even prefer my ct-5 over the ct-7 in the workshop at work as the 5 pushes the pin all the way out.

    Also never found a chain tool that was built into a multi tool that wasn’t utterly awful to use. I’d rather just take the slight weight/bulk penalty and carry the ct-5 and an allen key set.
