Vetted Professional Chain Tools

Master Mechanic Recommended: Professional Chain Tools

In my 35 years at the stand, I’ve broken my fair share of “cheap” tools. The selection you see here represents the survivors—the vetted chain tools that I personally use and recommend at I Know A Guy Bicycles. From precision chain breakers that won’t bend a link to the “Go/No-Go” wear indicators that save you hundreds in cassette repairs, these tools are chosen for their ergonomics, durability, and accuracy. If it’s on this list, it’s earned a permanent spot on my workbench, and it belongs on yours.
