Hi Danielle 😊 looks like the bees knees of chain tools, and not some gotta have it gizmo ,lol. As your a cycle tech I think you'll put it through its paces, tools you use all the time have to be upto scratch, if not it's bin time and find a better one, working whith good tools does give you satisfaction, so that alone can justify the expense, or that's what we tell ourselves, ha !. Thanks for another interesting video, stay safe girl, best wishe's to you and your's, Stuart UK.
A great video - as always. :) This looks to be more convenient to use than the Unior's Master Chain Tool, while also covering practically every chain one can encounter. The price is 2.5 times higher though (at least in Europe). However, time (and space) is money in a bike shop, so it may pay for itself after enough time. A more important concern (for me at least): spare parts (pins for example) are more easily available for Unior (the only major tool manufacturer that actually bothers to support us who happen to be living in Serbia :) ). Looking forward to hearing how the tool holds up after a year or two. It looks promising. Relja
Availability is key! I wonder if the retractable guide reduces the alignment issues that cause chain tool pins to break more frequently. They do have replacement pins for them on the market, but it is always about what gets the job done where you are! Doesn't do you much good if it's not supported
Have you used the Hozan C-371, and if you have, how would you say it compares? This new chain tool looks really good. The one small "problem" I see is with the pin being shrouded by the retractable sleeve. Since you cannot see the pin, I can imagine a ham-fisted mechanic not seating the chain fully in the bridge, and not driving the rivet out and instead kinda mushing the pin against part of the outer chain plate.
I haven't had the opportunity to use the Hozan tool (though I would love to). They claim it's the last chain tool you'll ever need and that it adjusts to the chain on its own. Besides that, it just looks cool - like it was made by hand. I definitely see the potential for using the Pedro's tool incorrectly. It is really easy to see that you are centered on the plate/over the pin based on the sleeve diameter. That doesn't mean that someone won't just ignore all that and crank away!
Your video is on their product page for the Tutto II. Very cool, well deserved and gets a Rick Flair Woooooo! I'm trying to decide on which of the Apprentice, Shop or Pro model to get but they all seem to have the same replacement parts, but Apprentice and Shop can't peen.
Yes, another video! Thank you for making it. Nice shirt btw.
Thanks! Shout out to The Unlikely Cyclist in Costa Mesa for the shirt

Really can't go wrong honestly, but the Pro is also the only one with the "RPG" guide that lines up the pin 🤘
Hello, does the pedro shop tool can work with campagnolo 10 speed chain ? If i understand the campagnolo 10 speed doesn't need to be peen ? Thx.
Correct - all Pedro's chain tools work with all 10-speed chain types. They have a huge compatibility chart on their website also!
@@NeutralSupportNews Thx.
Do you know why Campagnolo chains are like that? It’s because they’re “Euro-peen”.
my name is andrew. I actually am in the market for a chain tool.
