Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Works fine for motorcycle chain breaking and riveting. Key to riveting properly is to know what the proper size to flare the head of the rivet to.



Cons

They charge you to return this hunk of garbage. Cheap, flimsy, gets the job done once. No instructions so you just gotta fiddle with it to make it work.

First thing i noticed is the clamp itself is weak and spread open easily. It dint even leave a mark on it and the tool broke. Couldn't even clamp new chain. Broke the tool itself trying to flare the rivet.

Quality


Worked like a charm although it was very easy to over torque the new rivet type links so be aware of that


Easy to use and a good amount of versatility


The catch with this tool and others is you have to grind the rivets off first…it will not survive long if you attempt to break ...  Read More


Go super slow and make sure all pieces are seated before tightening

Price


I’ve gotten more jobs out of it than expected and happy with its performance for cost


Angle grinders are very affordable now and if you’re doing your own bike work you want to have one anyway


But then again it is not expensive


The wuality is not the best but for the price you know what you are buying

Shipping


Shipping would have been faster if i didnt select picking the package up at staples

    I’ve done 10 chains with this kit at our shop and just started having a problem with the rivet tip itself starting to mushroom out meaning it can get stuck when threading it into the tool

    The catch with this tool and others is you have to grind the rivets off first…it will not survive long if you attempt to break the chain with this tool only


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    A hard copy of the instructions dont come with the product but they are on the amazon page


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    As far as i know the pins for any chain breaker do sometimes break theres a lot of force applied to them


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    But as the manual says to mushroom a rivet you need to use the thickest pin and to remove a pin on a chain under 530 you need to use the second largest pin for pretty much all motorcycle chains


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Anything larger than 530 you need something else to cut off the end of the pin


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It was a little unintuitive but i got it figured out easily enough


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It isn’t the high end rk tool but it gets the job done
