Decent chain tool? Park CT 3.2?

[LittleSkink]

My Cyclo chain wrench has busted (they all seem to)(and yes I know how to use one properly) so I am currently only have my lovely old Ritchey ultralight trail tool - so really need to get a proper replacement

Its my birthday soon so I was looking at a Park as over the years I have built up a few of their tools and they are nice - but the CT 3.2 seems to have issues just like Cyclo (based on wiggle reviews). Or is it that folks break them by using them wrong?

So I guess my question is, anyone broke a CT3.2 when using it properly? Or anyone recommend a decent quality tool like a 3.2?

I've used the Park mini-chain brute for a few years now, for how often I need to use it it suffices. I mostly use KMC or SRAM chains so for cleaning etc I just use the quick links provided, I only need to use the chain tool when I get a new chain and want to take some links out of it.
Park stuff is usually good quality so I don't see any problem with going for the CT3.2.

I broke my park 3.2 cahin tool. But it only cost about £3 to replace the bent pin.

The chain brute is small but the 3.2 is more a shop tool than one you can carry.

That said the brute is small and can be fiddly to hold or if the pin tight or jammed can hurt yourself a bit ,digs in.
The 3.2 would be a lot easier to hold or to put pressure on with.

Oh and its unlikely youll break It in daily use.
