Anybody who knows anything knows that a tool designed for a specific job performs better than a multi tool, but go off pretending to he hot shit whipping out a tape measure
@@phantomarcher9590 thing is - the roller chain stretch-out condition is basicaly just a measured distance between rollers at specific number of links. This tool can measure it fast, but the quality of measurement isn't really better or worse when compared to tape measure or vernier calipers. If anything the inspector tool (being plastic) can be stretched itself and damaged if you use too much force to press on the pin end. Also you would need multiple different inspector tools for every chain size you would work with. This tool could potentially be usefull in rather specific cases eg. if you have a motorcycle repair workshop employing multiple mechanics who would perform the stretch-out checks quite often and you wanted to eliminate employee scale readout error and speed up their diagnostic opetations. Another example would be a maintenace guy/team who would work on machines using many chain-drive transmission that would need often and quick checkups. Aside from that it would make much more sense to just provide user(employee/yourself) with a good quality tape measure (a tool required nonetheless in every workshop) and a table printout with specific ok/notok lengths for all typical chain sizes. Alternatively you can just make such tool by yourself with the use of long piece of metal/plastic bar or even piece of cardboard which would be a fraction of the inspector tool cost. You woul only need to mark a starting point and both good and bad marks on the piece and it functions only as good as precise marks can you make on "ruler". So no - in case of this inspector tool it doesn't really beat simple tape measure or even piece of cardboard.
1:00 the subtitles say if the pin CAN go in the new chain, do you mean CAN NOT go in.
ya haha , cannot go it means the chain is good condition , thanks for the correction bro
Would be nice to 3d print it
If it doesn't fit, you must acquit.
(if it _does_ fit, it's guilty of being stretched out)
Is that a euphemism for something 👀
So it’s a measuring tape with LESS functionality than an actual measuring tape. Lemme guess. It’s ONLY $47.
