thanks for all your input -- i decided to go w/ RK

+1 on RK. Ive used it on about 20 chains now and its holding up like a beast. Half of them I didnt even bother grinding the rivet down either. Also, I used to work at a big online parts store and we sold about 1-2 RK Tools a day on average. We probably sold 1 or 2 motion pro's a month. http://www.solomotoparts.com/product...2&cat=0&page=1

http://www.mikesxs.net/products-7.html I used the $25 one. used a dremel to cut the old one off and a impact gun and this to press on the new one no problems.

I use an RK chain tool all the time, and it works great

have the motion pro, hate it (as some others indicated as well). Even griding the ends of the ml. the push pins are flimsy and break, and the damn thing just takes a long time to assemble. Got the RK after using from someone else and like it much better. It does make the job a bit easier to dremel the ends of the ml off.
