    I have the park tools CT-3 chain tool. It works fine on my shimano 9spd chains as well as on a freinds campy 10spd chain. I noticed park tools now sells the CT-4 specifically for 10 spd chains, but not sure how well it would work on 9spd ones. Why on earth would you pay someone to install a chain? Its one of the easiest things you can do yourself, with the right tool. I lack the mechanical strength to use the portable chain tools, but its easy with the CT-3.

    p.s. according to sheldon brown the CT-3 tool also works on 7,8,9,10 speed chains, so its very versatile. Come to think of it, I have used it to fix 7 and 8 speed chains on my kids bikes.

    From Sheldon Brown/Harris Cyclery Site:

    TL7248 Park CT-3 Shop Tool $29.95

    The ultimate. Because of the tremendous force needed to remove chain pins, CT-3 is now made from investment cast tool steel. Along with superior strength and durability, the CT-3 features a handy "loosening shelf" to remedy stiff links after reassembly. The fine thread and comfortable size enable easy removal of even the toughest chain pins. Like all Park Tool Chain Tools, it's easy to use and built to last.
    Works great on 7-, 8-, 9- and 10-speed chains.
