I've got 3 including 2 Park Tool ones which are supposed to be good. Not one of them fits the chain properly for attaching links, and the ones Kane was trying to use at Creation didn't work either.    :knuppel2: :knuppel2:

Well, I still have a chain extractor that I got well over 20 years ago (from when I worked at Heff's Longun  ;) ) and have used it heaps of times on every bike I have owned since about 1984 and it still works fine for me  :).

Yep, mine is 25 years old too. Still spot on. Even took apart links in a Shadow Conpiracy Half Link chain and put them back again - brilliant.

bought a Halfords Bike Shack one for 8 quid as some numpty sold me a 'NOS' chrome Izumi...but forgot to tell me about the tiny slit in the 'sealed' bag where they'd half inched the master link!  >:(

the Halfords link tool also has a feature to loosen stiff links as well...all in all spot on.  :daumenhoch:
