That's what the guy who installed my chain used.

I paid £100 for the official DID tool from Demon Tweeks.

I think it's aimed at DID chains though,

However it's the dogs-******** and a piece of **** to use and I've only fitted the 1 chain.

I was looking for a good one, but decided that £50 would pay for my dealer to rivet on 10 chains for me, so that should last me about 15 years or so :) So I fit the chain with a clip link then ride there to rivet it.
