About a year ago, I was persuaded that the battered chaintools I had been using were past it. With what, I asked, should I replace my Pennants, Coventrys and Cyclos? Park, they all replied. Can't go wrong with Park. So I bought two. I used one of them for the second time this morning and it broke. It cracked clean through. I took it to my local cycle shop and showed it to them. Unusual, said the nice young man, they usually break just there!

Some of the old tools in my box are a lot older than me so must be coming up to their three quarters of a century and probably a few hundred operaions. The Park managed two. Any comments?
