Park Tool Chain Tool - CT-3.3

Why did you pick this product vs others?:The Park Tool 3.3 is absolutely THE BEST chain breaker that I have ever used. There are other chain breakers out there with similar designs that you can buy for less money. But they have smaller and weaker components. If you want to try to save a few bucks, go right ahead. But after a lot of effort and frustration, you are just going to come back and get a Park Tool anyway. After you complete a job in 2 minutes that you struggled for hours with in the past, you'll wonder why you didn't save your time and money and just get a Park Tool in the first place.

Perfect chain breaker, simple to use and it works perfectly.

This is obviously the highest quality chain tool. It costs more, but it's worth it. The pins break on the cheap ones and then they're useless. This one is easier to use and has replaceable pins too.

Indestructible and does exactly what it should. Large handle with plenty of leverage.

IYKYK (If you know, you know). This is simply the top of the line chain tool. Park knocks it out of the park again with this tool. The combined quality, features and ease of use make it a tool every bike mechanic should own if you do any decent amount of riding. I grew up managing a bike shop for quite a few years and we used the Park Chain Tool for everything we did. When I started riding again recently, I was looking for a way to maintain my bike without having to bring it into my local bike shop and changing your bike chain is one of the most needed maintenance tasks. By nature, chains stretch over time, causing them to shift incorrectly or even not at all since the teeth of your sprockets no longer fits within the spacing of the chain links. I recently reached over 650 miles on my bike, checked the wear of my chain (with the Park Chain Checker Tool) and immediately replaced my chain. Not only did my bike shift better, but I had peace of mind knowing that my chain was ready to rock for another 650 miles. Simply the best. Great tool!

I ordered a replacement chain for my Trek bike. The official Trek site was misleading in its specifications, and I ended up getting a chain that was five links too long. The Park Tool Chain Tool (CT-3.3) to the rescue! I easily removed the pin from a link within seconds of receiving it.Unfortunately, in my excitement, I didn't measure before rushing into my task. REMEMBER: "Measure twice, cut once." So I messed up. With Shimano chain pins in hand, I used the Park Tool Chain Tool (CT-3.3) to quickly insert a replacement pin into my foolishly separated chain link.Like other Park Tool offerings, the Chain Tool is of high build quality and design quality. It serves its purpose almost perfectly. If you are going to play around with bike maintenance, you are probably going to need one of these bad boys. You won't be disappointed. As they say, buy once, cry once. Don't go cheap and have a junk tool fall apart after one use. Get Park Tool.

The tool cracked after the third use. I have several Park Tools and I have been very happy with the quality and functionality of the equipment but this one failed within a very short time after purchase.After completing the PT warranty form on their website Chad immediately sent a replacement. Great customer service!

Park makes a quality tool and this is no exception
