Park SR-2 converted from 3⁄32" to ⅛" with Wipperman 1R8 offcuts and M4 bolts in place of the stock M3. Everything about the 1R8 is heavy duty, even up against the everyday 1Z1 ⅛" chain, so a fair amount of fettling was needed to get the plates to clear the wrench body.

I recently finished my home made whip - take one standard wall strap and cut it down so that the hand is able to fit outside a standard 700c tyre, attach an old length of 1/8" Izumi V chain and voilà. The grep could do with something though, not the most comfortable thing to use. The length is good though, as well as giving leverage it saves on skinned knuckles and pulled nails.
