I've tried other more exspensive chain cleaners in the past and at some point they have all broken.

'DOES EXACTLY WHAT IT SAYS ON THE TIN'

Strengths:
Not to expensive, does its job well, seems sturdy, makes chain gleam and therefore more attractive to lady bikes (maybe)

Weaknesses:
None so far

Overall:
I use mine after every ride (ahem, well almost) as I live on the coast and get paranoid about salt corrosion and sand in my drivetrain. You should see the amount of crap it tales off the chain. Its a great, top value piece of kit, Get one before your chain falls to bits!

'CLEANS WITH SIDE EFFECTS'

Strengths:
Gets chain very clean
Cheaper than the Park version

Weaknesses:
Always falls off the chain
Citrus cleaner you get with it it crap

Overall:
It gets the chain sparkling clean when you use it with white spirit or other organic solvents so cant fault it. It does however have a tendency to fall off the chain spilling oily mess everywhere is a pain.

'CLEANS THE CHAIN'

Strengths:
Every Bike should come with one fill the thing with cleaner. Attach to the rear mech clip shut and off you go. Five minutes later clean chain.

Weaknesses:
Bit fiddly till you get the hang of it.

Overall:
Great bit of kit that takes just some of the pain of cleaning out.

'RELATIVE BARGAIN'

Strengths:
Clean horrifically dirty chains without having to take them off so saves on snap off Shimano pins.
Cheaper than Park as said below.
Really does save a fair amount of time

Weaknesses:
Citrus stuff that comes with is rubbish, Finish Line EcoTech instead in use.
Takes a while to get the knack of using it without making it fall apart or the chain fall out of it.
Might well conspire to break one day.

Overall:
Has lasted a good long time. A bit of a time saver as even with a chain caked in crap, a few minutes of back pedaling will have to it good as new. For the time and effort it saves, well worth it.
