Doesn't need to be porn worthy but any recommendations for a chain tool? My trusty 10 year old Fat Spanner number has just broken. I'm tempted to just get a like for like replacement (rebadged as LifeLine on Wiggle) but is there anything that's worth considering?

I got a Chinese knockoff pair of master link pliers off Ebay. Free shipping from China and they cost about $6. Buy a blister pack of links and you’ll be fine. A lot easier than faffing about with chain tools and pins.
Not Snap-on level but fine for casual use.

You still need to shorten a chain when installing a new one unless it happens to be the right length which doesn't happen often.
