Can anybody recommend a decent (and reasonably priced) chain breaker tool? I’m looking for one that can handle 8, 10 and 11 speed chains. The one I have the press bin bent, looking for a work horse that I can use time and again without it breaking / bending. Thanks,

Buy cheap buy twice springs to mind on chain tool. Look for one with large twist handle. Some multi tools have a chain tool but most not very good. Look at X-Tools Pro Chain Rivet Extractor or large Park Tool blue handle. Not a tool you use every day but once got. Edit: just looked at price of Park Tool well expensive! And lot bad reviews on pin bending. |

My b twin one from decathlon was a tenner and seems pretty robust. not sure if it does 11 speed but something makes me think it does. |

Went for a park tools CT3.2 - does up to 12 speed and feels like a nice bit of kit plus you can buy spare press pins. I'll report back after using it |

Got and used the Park Tools CT3.2. Nice bit of kit, seems tough and solid. Pin is fine and glad it can be replaced if needed. Not overly cheap at £25 but not too bad. |
