I have lost mine so recommend me a new one.

Do you use the chain type or the ones that are like pliers?

Links would be good  :smiley:

ive heard that the chain ones are easier to use however.

though ive never used one. but most garages ive seen seem to use chain type too.

if i cant shift them by hand i use the pliers type tool. i find them easier to get in at angles where a chain would usually slip.
