Review: Make the difference - easy to use, works excellent, reconended
Review: Innovative product that provides consistent chain tension each and every time - They should provide better examples of the chain tension setting. Ducati asks you to measure the gap between the center link of the chain and the swingarm surface. Does this correlate to the measurements provided on the back of the product card? To answer this question, I went to my bike which had the chain tensioned in accordance with the factory service manual, and proceeded to crank down on the Chain Monkey. I found that it came close, I had to really crank down on the Chain Monkey to match the setting. So I feel the Chain Monkey may get me there, but more consistently each time. The crank knob kept coming apart, the end cap kept popping out. Overall: 5/5 stars

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good tool to have.
*by T***U on October 23, 2016*

Not precise but close enough. Don't tighten the chain too tight with this attracted. While it is robust, you can crack it if you apply too much pressure. One thing that really bothered me was having to measure the chain cross section. Come on. A 520 chain is a 520 chain. A 630 chain is a 630 chain. Since this isn't a precise measurement anyway, why not just give me a setting for a 520, 530, or the 630? Other than that little twerk, it works as advertised.
