Oh, and I don't know if my stomache could take two gallons of sugary citrus.  I'm having trouble finishing the lemonade I made a few days ago (heartburn-city). |
Sorry, yes... I would get both. I got the beefier bead-breaker, but I think the $20 one will be more than adequate. It may even be a little easier to use, because the bigger one's handle moves around a bit when aligning it with the wheel (this is because it is designed to fit a greater number of tire sizes), so I guess it comes down to what you anticipate needing it for.
I don't know about the chain alignment tool, but for $3, it would be a nice extra tool.
I bought 16" irons, and found them more than adequate. I would say anything between 12" and 16" will work..... based on my one experience.
