@ouzoThe Lezyne Tool doesn’t compare to the groove pro. 
it also doesn’t have as many tools. It is handy in having a t handle design so it gets into hard to reach places more easily.

the quality is really good though but the groove pro matches that. It’s a BIG improvement over the std plastic Groove Tool

Nice1, seems to be based on the Fabric Chamber which was made available around 2016, of course no chain tool then but this is a super upgrade to an already great idea.

Great product that addresses all the shortcomings of the plastic groove tool.

the o ring seals properly 

there’s a chain breaker

its a lot stiffer so you can actually use it to tighten your thru axle 

Holds chain links

and it has a holder that straps to the bike frame. 
 

well done Ryder!!

No chain breaker though

That is one of the reasons I wanted one

I didn't realise that there were 2 versions.

Weird question.........
Do you use the chainbreaker?

Yes, a few times in the past.  Not regularly, but if you do break a chain on a ride and you don't have one with you, you are a bit screwed.

Only once on my road bike, but a few times on the MTB.
If not for me, the someone else in the group.

For some reason, I could not find the product on their website last week. Either I was being doff, or they updated the site. The link posted on this thread was dead.
I ordered online from Olympic based on the marketing videos and comments here without knowing that there were 2 versions.

I will take it back and wait for the CB version.

Interesting.

Touch wood.............
Since 1997:  310,715km done - MTB and road, Sanis, Epic, W2W, Augusts and loads of training.  
Only once have I ever needed one.

I count myself then VERY lucky.

Although its listed at Omnico, Olympic Cycles (or anyone else for that matter), dont have it yet.

So I need to stay calm and relax about it .... 🤣🤪
