I like knowing the degree my chain is worn, as opposed to the "Good / No Good" type of chain checkers as his gives me a better feel for just how fast my bikes' chains are wearing. With multiple bikes to maintain, I feel I am making a more informed decision. The tools itself is rugged, simple to use, and requires no maintenance.

I've always used a ruler to measure my chain wear. That is until I was having shifting problems on my commuter bike. I adjusted the derailleur, I cursed a lot, and measured my chain (it showed almost no stretch). Finally when I was lubing my chain, I noticed a broken plate on the outside of the chain. This told me that there was wear going on that measuring wasn't catching. So based on other reviewers, and the quality of most Park tools, I took the plunge and ordered this. It isn't cheap but it's well worth it. I again measured my chain using a ruler and it only showed about 1/32" stretch. Then I used this tool and it showed over the .75% mark on the gauge. Well past time to put a new chain on. I put a new chain on and it shifts like new again.

For years, I knew that a chain could wear out just like anything else, but I had no idea how to see how far gone a chain was. Not long ago a friend showed me how to use his chain checker and from then on I was sold. I had to have one. It has since paid for itself when I was restoring an old bicycle. It needed a new chain, but I didn't have the money or time to go get one. I happened to have an old frame sitting around that still had the chain on it, so I took my new chain checker and found out that this chain was still in good shape. A little elbow grease and the chain was as good as new. Couldn't have done it without my chain checker.
