another suggestion recommendation of a good multi tool
mine is a lexyne rap 20, the chain tool looks similar to the one that this guy shows
I was amazed how competently the chain tool works. I busted my shop one years ago, and so use the multi tool one whenever I put on a new chain. Keep meaning to buy a shop one, but if you also need a multi tool--great for touring in any case, look into these well made multi tools that have quality, well working chain tools.
my rap 20 was probably 40 bucks here in canada when I got it. Not a cheapie, but well worth it.
