Default Chain Tool 101

If you only use a chain tool once in a Blue Moon (raises hand) and then
usually just to break things before sealing with Powerlinks then it's a
Good Idea to get one of Park's /almost/ foolproof ones. However, having
seen there's little that can go wrong, don't think it wouldn't be
foolish to throw away the instructions.

Or you might spend some considerable amount of time with a stiff link on
your new Brompton chain you can't free up properly no matter how
incrementally you drive it in before you remember what the middle gang
in the tool is actually there for...

sigh
Got there in the end, at least.

Pete.
