Review: Very happy with it! - Great little tool. After reading reviews on here for various chain tools I decided to choose this one. I made the right choice, the price was good and the tool works very well. Good price to quality ratio. It took me a few turns and the chain pin slid out easily, by hand. It's sturdy and small enough to fit in my little under seat tool bag on rides. I needed to shorten my chain by a few links and this did the job perfectly! The brand also has very helpful videos on YouTube to guide on repairs as well. It was delivered before the expected arrival time. Although this was over a week, but I was expecting 2 weeks. Very happy with it!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: will this tool work to break a single speed chain?**
A: From Park Tool technical support:
“Our CT-5 is only compatible with 3/32" 5 to 12-speed derailleur chain. The cast alignment tabs can break off when used on larger chain.

Please purchase our CT-3.2 Chain Tool for use on Single Speed chains and all other size bicycle chains… CT-3.2 is compatible with 1/8", 3/16", BMX ‘Half-Link’ single-speed chains and 5 to 12-speed derailleur chains, but will not peen Campagnolo® 11-speed chain rivets (see CT-4.3 or CT-6.3)”

**Q: Will this work on 11 speed chains (my bikes have Sram Red22 & XX1 chains)?**
A: Yes, I've used it on 11 speed chains without side effects, but I'm not a professional mechanic.

**Q: Has anyone used this on a BMX half-link chain? have used one where the little stabilizer teeth on the tool did not have room for this thicker chain.**
A: Only used it on 21speed derailer chain... their site say, "The CT-5 is intended for derailleur chains. The wide 1/8" and 3/16" chains should use the CT-7. When pressing in or pressing out a rivet, place the chain roller over the chain tool cradle as showing in the image here."www.parktool.com... good luck

**Q: Does it work gor a half link chain?**
A: It should work the same as with any bike chain tool. Better than most of the ones out there actually.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ With Care Gets The Job Done
*by A***R on 3 June 2020*

Used this to break 11 speed KMC e-bike chain. I found it a bit fiddly to keep the punch lined up with the chain rivet. What happens is, you get it lined up, but as the punch contacts the chain rivet the rotation moves it so it is no longer lined up. On one occasion after the rivet had been pushed through, when I unscrewed the tool the punch unscrewed and detached, easy enough to screw back in though. I think it does need used with care, if a lot of pressure is applied when the punch is not lined up with the chain rivet, I'd fear it might just bend the location prongs. I'ts not a bad tool considering it's size and that it's not intended for every day use, there are no huge issues when used carefully, I'm happy enough to keep it in my tool kit, it's small enough to go in the carry with kit for on the move repairs. Not perfect perhaps, but does get the job done. I haven't used the tight link loosening function so can't comment on that.
