This is a pretty good chain tool. I found it easy to use, and it's one of the cheapest tools available. I do have a small problem with over-driving the pins, so that they fall out the other side, and I have no idea how to get them back in. If you're careful this shouldn't be a problem. I don't know if more expensive tools would have a solution for this.
Pros:
Portable, lightweight
Easy to use
Plastic holder keeps components together
Cons:
Allen key can fall out when tightening / removing links (compare with Park tool, which cannot).
Pin seems to have bent slightly after about a dozen uses (but I think replacement pins can be bought).
Overall I'd recommend, though I would compare with the Park Mini Chain Brute or Pedro's Chain tool first.

it's more user friendly than park tool, as it provides a chain hook as well as a 5/6mm hex wrench build in with the tool. Everything is nicely tucked onto the included rubber sleeve for storage. See my user photos for reference.Not compatible with 11 speed. Made in Taiwan.
