Where's the best place to buy a decent chain breaking/making tool? Oh and what sort do you chaps rate best?
Just went to fit a new chain only to discover the chappy at the shop had got confused and supplied one about 7 links too long.. ::) :(

A good one is not cheap !
Have a look for a DID Tool,they are the Mutts Nuts and will do virtually any chain !

Several club members have one and may be persuaded to loan it on a you-pay-the-postage deal.

I can always get the local shop to do it but it's convenient to have the tool :-\

Good point! I normally use the grinder with a cutting disc to remove endless chains, hadn't thought of the more subtle approach of grinding off the heads :-[
Just naturally nervous about trashing a decent new chain by being ham fisted I guess :D
