That typically comes with the saw, ask them for one that fits the nut(s) that are part of the tensioner. The long end will be a flat screwdriver for adjusting tension via the tension screw(mine has one). Also, as another mentioned, get chainsaw oil and fill up the reservoir. The oil flow control may also be a screw head, again that the driver end can fit in. Lastly, make sure you have a guard on the nose of the bar. If that Chain comes of at full steam, the nose guard offers protection.

The tool should be under $5.

Good luck.
