Someone on ADVRider has both this version and the DID version and he said he
could not tell the difference between them. I have only seen and felt the
one I have and if the DID one is any heavier/stronger I would be very very
surprised. The one I have is solid - I didn't use it to drive the pin out
of the old chain (once I had ground the head off of course) since I just cut
it off so I can't comment on it's capabilities in that area but I have no
doubt it would be able to handle it fine.

That looks amazingly like the DID tool I paid $99 for. I've done 4 chains
with
said tool and have had perfect results every time. But for $16? What's it
made
out of, aluminium?!? ;^{D Looks like quite the bargain!
