REI Members get back an estimated 10% on this item as part of their annual member refund.

The REI Member Dividend

The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

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.

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:

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.
