Make one for yourself. It's not rocket science....

1) Mount a bolt (or even a drive sprocket) to a long board
2) count the links in your various chains
3) Hang each chain, in turn, from the bolt/sprocket.
4) Mark the length of each one ON the board and write the number of links in that chain alongside the mark,
5) Keep the board.......

Be aware that chains do stretch and that ANY chain measure is only pretty 'rough' and ready whether you buy one of make one.
