Title: Master Link Pliers
Post by: hpwaco on February 15, 2018, 10:47:26 pm
Cycle Gear currently has a pair of their Stockton brand Master Link Pliers available on their website for $4.99 (vs Motion Pro brand for $18.00!).   This is a really great tool which prevents a lot of abbreviation!

It appears "HPWaco's" autocorrect's gone berserk again and preferred "abbreviation" to "aggravation". Maybe it's just tired, but then I'm not the first to point out that "abbreviation" is an awfully long and ungainly word for what it means.

Anyhow, here's the link (https://www.cyclegear.com/search?_utf8=%E2%9C%93&query=Stockton+Master+Link+Pliers+&commit=Search) for those who may be interested in that tool or do a lot of this sort of chain swapping thing.

On other more useful technology fronts...

Thanks Bilgemaster for the sharp eyes.  Mine just aren't what they used to be.  Had to have one lasered last month.  Foggy after cataract surgery a couple of years ago!

I still use the old analog work flow for that particular function - works fine, so no need to upgrade...

Sorry to hear of your woes, HPWaco. A brief word of cheer and encouragement though: It may be the most uncomfortable thing you'll do this year, but my Mother-in-law had cataracts like white poker chips, had that procedure, and can now spot Marvin the Martian in orbit...
