Reasonably priced chain tool

Breezin · 2022-07-02 14:54:48

Anyone got a strong recommendation for a chain tool that works reliably and doesn't cost the earth? Had a look at a Sealey (as enthusiastically promotedby Delboy) and it was made of mush. I know you pay for quality, but I don't want to spend a fortune on a professional-level tool that I'll use once every three years.

chain tools are either expensive and good or shite. Whale is what you want. Buy once cry once. Delboy has disappeared up his own hole. He’s a shill for loads of companies. I don’t watch any of his vids.
