Chain Breaker Cutter and Riveting Tool 13 Piece

Lo compre como regalo, pero en general se ve economico, un poco resistente, tal vez para trabajos sencillos y en casa solamente

Pins are weak and bend easily but for price it’s ok

Overall it did everything it was supposed to do. I'd probably give it 4.5 stars since the metal may not be the highest quality, but it did do everything I needed to take off the old chain and put a new one on. It is true there is no instruction manual, but I honestly think most people would do better watching one of the many you tube videos available how to use this tool anyway. You'll hear two different views when it comes to breaking the chain. Some say grind it down so you can push out the link easier. Some say don't grind it down so the tool will fit over the link you're trying to push out. I ground it down so I could push it right out, which it did. This is the time to be careful though. A lot of people report the metal pin breaking. I took the extra few minutes to ensure the push pin was exactly lined up with the link and slowly pushed the pin a little at a time to make sure the pin was pushing the link out. In other words, only have the push pin on the link being pushed out and not any other part of the chain. If it's lined up correctly, there should be a much better chance the pin won't break. Once you know it is starting to push the link out, it is easy to line the push pin into the indented hole and push it the rest of the way out. As for putting on the master link, one video had a good idea of using a caliper to measure the distance (thickness) of a regular link. As you use the tool to install the new link on, just squeeze it a little at a time to get it to the same thickness as the regular links. You don't want to over-tighten the master link. If you feel this tool is something you may only use a handful of times in your life, it certainly does the trick.

My $180 Name brand one snapped so I needed a new one. I decided to try this one as Amazon has the best return policy. I am not disappointed, it works very well on the 3 different chain sizes I have, one being a 630 heavy duty. It seems just as solid as the more expensive one. Shipping was fast as usual, everything is very secure in the plastic case. There are no instructions but there is a video on YouTube using this exact kit.

I purchased this breaker tool for use on a motorcycle build, for 530 chain. I was very pleased when it arrived, as the case is well-made, and holds all of the attachments securely. The main tool itself is very sturdy, and is made out of solid steel. I was initially worried about buying such an inexpensive kit, because very often, the quality of these kits is subpar, but I am happy to say that is not the case with this kit.There are multiple anvil and punch options included, and all of them work well, even on large 530 section motorcycle chain. Punching out a link was easy, but I would advise grinding the head off the pin you are punching out prior to beginning. This tool could probably exert enough force to push the pin through without grinding, but the process is much simpler if you remove the head first, and will increase the life of your tool.I was pleasantly surprised that the tool was able to successfully peen the head of the pin to secure it into the chain - many of the cheaper tools will break, or be unable to exert enough force to successfully round the pin over. Just take it slow with this step, and check your progress incrementally, and it will do the job!Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase, and plan to keep it in my emergency kit on the bike, in case a chain breaks on the road.
