Had to pick between a Park Tool CT-5 and a cheaper chain tool for a big fleet job

We had to do chain checks on 80 rental bikes at the shop last week. The boss wanted to buy the cheap tool to save money, but I pushed for the CT-5. It handled every weird 9-speed chain without a hiccup, while the other one started to bind up after number 30. What's your go-to chain tool for heavy use?

Ever have a chain tool just give up mid-job like that?

Man, that reminds me of the time I tried to fix a chain with a multi-tool in the woods.
