Now I'll be using the micro chain tool
Let me know how it goes as have looked at that tool.
Bear is correct, unless you lubed it after the ride it was bound to rust.
I had you in mind for this very thing and was about to text ya. The chain is siezed solid (my fault, I know
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
sorry for causing any aggro) and I could've used the industrial Pedros. But, this little micro tool did it's thing like a trooper.
Didn't wind the thread/tool locker in far enough first - one end slides ober the chain and engulfs it and then it's male part winds into it, before you use the allen key to wind the rivet tool into the chain - and the lightweight alu stripped it's threads a little.
Started the process again by winding the male fully into the main black unit. Wasn't sure it would handle the torque (not much, but in relative terms for it's size) and assumed them threads would just strip further. But, just a little pinch and link undone
If you want numbers then a firm 9/10 from me. Maybe if there was ti parts and less threads stripping it'd be cooler. But mainly user error. Light and small as anything and you could probably make it smaller by foregoing the allen key and using you multi tool.
