More readily found than a 35t chainring!

I've heard of them but never operated one or
even seen one (I think).

The application being when +1 link is too
slack, and -1 link is too tight?

Are they compatible with all chains?

Also, I didn't understand your rotary air file
method. What is a "single-point ends"?
Thanks for your patience

See your local LBS:

for 1/2 x 1/8" chain.

Classic road & track ends allow axle movement to correct
chain length for wear and tension.

Single point ends are for use with derailleurs or other
chain tension devices:

Some riders end up with a single-point frame and want fixed
or CB. ('want' but usually not enough to pay us to change
the ends) A small increase in the slot size can make enough
difference. Just did one like that on Sunday.
