Is this worth the extra cost in comparison to the Park Tool CC-3.2 or the other flat steel chain wear indicators?

It's quicker. It does show when wear is 75%, at which point the chain should be replaced to save drivetrain. I used one when working at a shop.

I can't tell you in comparison to other brands and cost, but it does a great job in letting you know when it is time to get a new chain. The tool is very solid.

I have both and this one seems to give more accurate and repeatable measurements. I'm finicky and I wear chains out quickly so I like to keep a close eye on my chain in order to get max life out of my cassettes. OTOH, if you just want to do a quick check every once in a while then the flat steel type is very good as a go no-go checker.

If you do your own work on the bike, yes. You can monitor the stretch in small increments instead of a go or no go decision. I check the stretch every time I clean and oil the chain. I then note the stretch in my bike log for easy reference.

I've recently bought Dimension 700c Hybrid Fork. Inexpensive, and it is better than my stock fork. Unless, of course, you want to upgrade to carbon.

No. If you go to the Garmin website you can easily compare the models. The price increase for measuring to hazards was not worth it to me. Also, if I remember correctly, hazard distances are actually something you have to manually program. You should verify this when you compare features.

U need a real chain tool, like the park tools one. They are expensive. A $3 Walmart chain tool will break.

Not sure, I'm a beginner with experience with a cheaper brand. After using this model I must admit my old metal detector "toraso cultus" is much easier to use and detects just as deep. I'm not certain the price gives me that much more of a detector. I'm still learning it but am becoming a little frustrated.

Don't know, can tell you this though. I bought two and both are out of commission. Cheap build, didn't last one trip. Go with Shimano or Penn

Hello I own the 3000c. I can tell you its rock solid used it for prolly 8 yrs now. as long as you keep the gear system blown out from dust and shavings you'll have no probs. I looked at the 2000, and the only diff I see is the tightening system. on the 3000 you have one tool you put in two holes, (one on each side of the chuck) and tighten it like you would a jacobs chuck on a drill. (very handy and safer hold in my opinion.) On the 2000 you put two tools in (the redhandles in the picture) and then push one and pull the other at the same time. everyone I know that turns say the system the 3000 uses is much better. Also the 3000 is a wider chuck than the 2000, which depending on your lathe gives you more of an offset from the headstock... for 50 more bucks its well worth it....cheers...Bob

-Earthwise C530014 Chain Saw was TOO HEAVY for my Wife, so I returned it! And purchased GreenWorks 20182 Enhanced 24V Lithium-Ion 10-Inch Chainsaw with for $119.99. Neither Amazon NOR, THE MANUFACTURER INCLUDE IMPORTANT DATA ABOUT "WEIGHT"! But, am I very satisfied with it! -

I've owned the Toro 1800 older model (38025) for around ten years. Live in the snow belt of Northern Michigan (we had nine inches today) and have a driveway with afton stone. My faithful Toro has done a great job of clearing the snow from my drive all these years, but the other day had one stone too many and I cracked the blades. I can get replacement blades and have it fixed (and probably will) but am also seriously looking at the newer model 38371. I looked at the Worx, which has steel blades, but Toro has been so trouble free over all these years, that I'll stick with the brand. BTW, it easily handles 12 inches of dry snow and can even carve through drifts with a bit of patience on the operator's part. EDIT: As it turned out, it would cost me $150 to have my old Toro fixed. No brainer: ordered the 38371 and happy dance, it will be here this Saturday.

The only difference between the 450 and 450 E is that the "E" does not need any tools to adjust the chain during use and the "E" wieghs about 1/2 lb more. I love mine!

There's an arrow on the sharpening attachment - make sure it's pointing up when on the bar. I've used mine a couple times now and the chain sure seems sharper afterward.

Big upgrades. A lot more exercises, and Bowflex Xtreme 2 is the no-change cable pulley system. This allows the user to change from several different exercises without interrupting the workout to adjust or re-route pulleys. The no-change cable feature not only saves time, but prevents too long of a rest between movement. They made big improvements over the se. In my opinion it's worth spending the couple hundred for the 2se. I own the 2se and love it and so much better over the previous as I owned that as well.

In my opinion the edjer 2 is better after u adjust the blades and has a more power. I just purchased another one this week. Great tool.

I've owned both, used for MTB. Like someone said before, different design on tire gauge, and frankly the MTB version is easier to read. both are great, but the road morph broke on me. MTB version is beefier and def more appropriate for MTB, probably because of the volume required for the significantly fatter tires. You're just pumping a lot more. It's a bit heavier...but it's awesome. you'll *almost* be stoked for a flat!

Thanks for the recommendation Bryan. I'm not too fond of the clasp on that one, since I often forget to fasten them. I'll put this one on my list to check out though.

I agree with all 3 previous answers. An excellent, extremely well made tool. The CP505A has more info on the scales (roof pitch / crown cuts) right on the leg.

Unfortunately with this current model on the ninja 300 I've noticed it is not accurate at all .... Also when downshifting multible gears at once ...it will not indicate correct gear until clutch is released.... I got this indicator for my wife too help her because she is a new rider this year ... And I was very disappointed with it ... I did have this indicator on my GIXXER 750 and it worked perfectly
