Unpopular opinion: that 60$ Park Tool chain checker is a waste of money

Bought it last month thinking I was being smart but you can get the same result with a 5$ ruler and a pair of calipers, has anyone else found that these specialized tools just add cost without any real benefit?

$60 for a ruler that says "replace me"?

That reminds me of the time I found a $5 tape measure at the dollar store that lasted me six years before the numbers finally wore off. You could buy ten of those for the price of that ruler and still have money left over for a coffee. Guess the joke's on whoever buys it, huh.
