I just bought a new bike with 11 speed SRAM. I anticipate only breaking the chain in emergencies and would be fitting a powerlink to get me home - I would not be refitting a new pin with the same tool.
Do I need to buy a new (11speed specific) chain breaker or can I use my current 10 speed one?
Thanks in advance.

10-speed tool is fine (but not for Campagnolo if anyone is wondering).
SRAM chains all come with a Powerlink anyway, you only need to cut the the chain to get the length right when fitting a new one.

I had a thought, but it got run over as it crossed my mind.

Thanks Duck!
I have a small 10 speed tool that I carry with me in case I run into trouble riding out in the middle of nowhere. Great to know that it will suffice if I need it.
