I am looking for a lightweight chain breaking and joining tool for cycle touring use and I currently have SRAM 8-speed chains fitted to my bicycles. Is the Park CT-5 the one to go for or is there anything lighter that is worthwhile?
One alternative I have read recommendations for is the Crank Brothers micro chain tool that comes with their multitools, which looks tiny and apparently can be used stand-alone with just a 5mm Allen key for leverage. Is that tool good enough to justify buying their multitool simply to extract the micro chain tool?
