This is a very nice chain tool. It feels solid and sturdy. I was eventually able to get it lined up to install the connector pin in my Campy road bike chain. It was not easy though. There isn't any way for this tool to hold the two links together so that you can then use both hands to put the guide pin into the links to get started. I see why Campy will only recommend that you use their $115 chain tool with the link-holder prongs. Now THAT is a nice chain tool. I didn't want to spend that kind of Lira on a chain tool so I bought this one. I also won't be installing my own Campy chain ever again. I'll either use the quick-connect links or pay my LBS to do it next time. I got off track there... Yes, if you need a chain tool because you want to install a chain yourself, then this is a good chain tool & well worth the price. In fact, buy this one. After you buy it go watch some Park Tool videos about chain maintenance and congratulate yourself on solving your chain tool problem.

Chain tool works awesome. I use it for bmx, specifically half-link chains. It does the job very well. I’m super cheap so I wish it came with extra pins, but not a big deal. I did put a little blue thread lock on the pin to prevent it from loosening during use.

Does the job but the pin already broke after less than two months since new!

The two main causes of pin breakage are a loose pin or a misaligned tool while breaking the rivet. Occasionally make sure that the pin is sufficiently tightened in the chain tools handle. It is also important to make sure the chain breakers pin is properly aligned with the chains rivet. Even a small misalignment can cause the the pin to to break. For the CT-3.3, we offer replacement pins, the CTP.
