The best bicycle chain cleaner worth your money: Park Tool CM-25 in review

In this video I’m going to review what I consider to be the best bicycle chain cleaner tool in the market today by far. And that is the Park Tool CM-25 Professional Chain Scrubber.
It’s obvious that the Park Tool CM-25 is much more expensive than your average chain cleaner. And I agree that price does not necessarily equate to higher quality.
So let’s compare the the Park Tool CM-25 with the competition.

Yeah, it's a chunk of change but the thing is... you get this and you'll have it forever AND using it will be a pleasure not a chore. You'll reach the point when you know that you're ahead and saving money by buying it. Same reason I bought my Dyson. 12 years old, use it twice/week and works exactly like new, picks up amazing amounts each time, never need to buy a filter...now I'm saving a fortune even though it was 3X more $$ than a regular vacuum.

Thanks for the insight. I like the way this tool is designed.

Just bought mine on Amazon, looking forward to getting it to "properly" clean my e-bike chain, not cheap but quality does cost and that I am ok with.

You didn't mention one important thing I was hoping you'd say. Most who have used the plastic version of the Park chain cleaner say the bristles tend to fall out and get stuck in your chain. I was hoping maybe at least the pro version would not have this problem. In fact at the MUCH higher price it costs, it kind of warrants the brush bristles being epoxied into the holes they're mounted in.

U should crank pedals backwards

What does that do?

@@thetrooper76 Good catch. Thanks!

@@thetrooper76 In some ways the basic tool is better at keeping things clean because its transparent plastic lets you see the level of the fluid inside..

@timothygermann780 plastic cleaners are not very durable.

$110 on Amazon 😳

I bought this thing because I didn't want another piece of plastic, like my other broken chain cleaner, ending up in a landfill. My guess is I'll use this one for the rest of my life.
