Inside Bikeman's Toolbox

When you stop and think about the forces it must require to drive a chain pin into the link you realize just how important the chain tool is.  I can still remember my first chain tool.  I was still a young bikeboy and my gunked up chain was in dire need of replacing. Since money was tight I went with the cheapest option available, which  at the time was one of those cheap little silver Rivoli's.  It worked well enough and my first chain swap was a cinch.
Fast forward to today, during the busy season I install multiple chains every day and numerous chain tools have passed through my hands over the years.  I still have that Rivoli, and there will always be a place in the bottom of my heart (and toolbox) for it, but there are some great new options out there to consider.  Check out the links below to some of my favorites.
