Yes it was a similar tool. The mechanic at LBW took his time in repeating over and over that the metal physically stretches after he explained that he is studying physics.
He also pulled several 'stretched' chains out the bin, measured them and reiterated that pressure on metal will make it stretch. I may forward this link to him so he can defend himself.
But apparently, chains do stretch.
