I'm in a dilemma about which (size) chain tool to buy.

I'd like to have one that can go on tour with me, when I'm *way* out from civilization. So, natural preference would be for something that is compact and lightweight.

But my mechanic says the compact/light ones don't always work well...or at all. She says get a bigger one and just put up with the heavier weight.

Thoughts here?

Specific brand recommendations?

If you have one that is smaller/lighter *and* works well, of course that would be the ideal!

Thank you...
