What chain pin tool (chain breaker) is the best bang for the buck to adjust length of Campagnolo 10 speed chains?
Cheaper than the Campy tool but ... just as good?

Pedros Pro Chain tool retails at $75 and is a nice tool that'll peen Campy chains. Park CT-4.3 is a little less and will peen a Campy chain. Probably good but I haven't personally used one.

Seen some decent pricing on the Pedros Tutto chain tool. I have Campy 8, 10, and 11 systems, some Shimano, and a few 1950's English 3-speeds. I think with the Tutto I'll have One Tool to Break (and re-make) them All.
So I won't need to spend $200 for Campy plus $150 or so for the Shimano. Actually it seems the chain-breaking does not need a special tool, I should be able to do that with my old Cyclo. It's the pin insertion and finishing that is different across gearings, manufacturers and levels of sophistication.
