"Roller Chain Ruler"Takes The Guesswork Out Of Broken Chain Repairs
If you've ever had to replace a broken chain roller, you know it can be a pain to get the chain sized right. This new "Roller Chain Ruler" has pegs on one side that hold the chain in place and large numbers on both sides of the ruler that tell you how many chain links you'll need. The ruler can also be read in millimeters and inches.
  "It's a lot faster than counting individual links and also eliminates the possibity that you'll miscount the links," says Kent Zimmerman, John Day Co., Omaha, Neb.
  The ruler is made from recycled plastic so it isn't affected by gas, solvents, or oils. A hole at each end of the ruler lets you hang it from a wall or mount it on a bench. Comes in a set of three different rulers for No. 40, 50, and 60 chain.
  Sells for $35 plus S&H.
