I got for myself a chain wear indicator from Ritabrata last Sunday, that is yesterday. Just for fun. It's Birzman branded. Both the chains seemed just fine :-) when I measured with the stick. But both had some gunk which the clean tip of the indicator picked up.
Must keep it stored with a thin coat of WD 40 because the literature says it should be kept in a dry place. This is dropping broad hint that the unit might pick up some rust. Calcutta being so humid I am sure it will, sooner or later. My Crank Brothers multi tool has. It doesn't hurt anything but I hate working with a rusty tool.
I had never heard the name of Birzman before. Must do some internet research on the brand and see what else they make. It is possibly Taiwanese and is following the same product strategy as Park Tools (American). That is what Ice Toolz is doing as well. They have more or less the exact same products as Park Tools at a much cheaper cost.
