Re: [St] Chain breaker, riveter

["Kevin Dicks" <rawsonboy@xxxxxxxxx>]

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!
