        Comments about Park Compact Chain Tool:

        I broke my bike chain not far from my house and decided to use this tool to put on a spare chain I had. After two hours of trying to line the pin up I still could not get it to go into the chain link. I don't know if I was just doing something wrong but even after reading the directions supplied with the tool I could not fix the chain. I ended up taking it to a bike shop and getting it fixed for less than the cost of the tool.

          Comments about Park Compact Chain Tool:

          You have to have one of these. The Park is well made and easy to use. Learn how to split, join and spread the chain on your doorstep, to reduce anxiety in the outdoors.

            Comments about Park Compact Chain Tool:

            First off, tool is well constructed, it really feels like it'll last a lifetime, and it's so small that I think it belongs in every cyclist's road bag along with a spare chain. But the downsides are: can be difficult to operate, due to small size, especially in dark/rainy conditions. I got pretty desperate at one point and applied enough pressure to break off the drive arm component of the device, leaving me totally screwed with a [$]dollar key chain. I reccomend this with reservation that this tool is good, but not idiot proof. signed, idiot. PS: got off the mountain 8 hours later.

            Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
