Yep. I have also been a witness to the "sushi guacamole" mistake.

Not good! That's an odd product to have scammers in. Of course, nigerian_banker@gmail.com as the contact email, may have tipped you off.
I hope it all works out.

I will probably go with the Oakley mil/gov site, where I can get the same price and good quality, but not on such cool specs.

Yeah, without a ML, you have to 'peen' the pins. Haven't tried this one, but probably one of the cheaper chain tool option that can do Campy peening. If you're set on not using quicklinks, probably long term makes sense though to spring for one of the heavier duty tools. On a weird note, it looks like Park discontinued their 'master' (ie. best) line of chain tools -- namely the CT 4.3 ? Whassup with that?

Seemed that way to me, which is I just went ahead and ordered without due diligence. I would never order bike parts like that. They do apparently send out some product, but have an awful rep.
I will probably go with the Oakley mil/gov site, where I can get the same price and good quality, but not on such cool specs.

Fun Fact:
The parking lot for the Magic Kingdom is 18 acres bigger than the theme park itself.

Just came back from Mexico and was there for 9 days instead of 5. My son who is vaccinated had corona, not the beer kind. Had to quarantine until he tested negative. Going to ride my bike in the morning.
What did I miss here on the forums?

Trumpet kills your arms after a while, but sousaphone is a real pain in the shoulder.
Thankfully I never had to personally transport a sousaphone.
