Looking for an old tool

Hopefully some one out there can help me out. I am looking for a Finish line Chain Pup

Please contact me if you know where I can find one or if you have one you would like to sell

I posted this hear because only and old shop employee would know what this tool was.

The bolt looks bent, and that thing is obviously pretty cheap. Have you considered a better one?

Oh, sorry, thought you said 'old fool.'

Prather the pin running at an angle is part of the design, They were one of the early multi tools from back in the late 80's to the early 90's. Unlike the picture they are a really slick example of cnc machine work. And they work almost as good as a park ct5 and are about 1/4th the weight.

Yes jsharr I saw the ones at Brauns, just having a hard time paying 3 times what the tool cost originally.

I have one of those Chain Pups and a Ritchey CT5 chain tools that is similar but has a wider handle with 8, 9 and 10mm box wrenches cut into it. I use them along with a Park MT-1 on two of my bikes because they do the same job as one of the elaborate multi-tools at 1/3 the weight.

Performance made a heavier knock-off of the CT5 for a while but I haven't seen it listen for years.

Anyone else think this was going to be a thread about Pcad?

Very nice, and at an affordable price too. This looks like a very good ultralight chainbreaker design.

Since you like it Milice, you should just buy a nice new one.

If you want to save money get a cheaper tool that won't be as nice as this one. It'll cost you a couple of grams and cubic centimeters but you'll have saved some money.

I have one, but I am afraid that I am about to loose it in a very bad bet dealing with the TDF.
