Motion Pro 08-0470 PBR Chain Breaker

This is the one to buy folks. I bought a cheaper Chinese chain press and it bent pins and failed to rivet a did 525 chain. Wrote that off as a loss and bought this one which performed flawlessly. Pressed pins and stamped rivets like it should. Dont cheap out on a $30 kit, buy this one and do it right the first time.

This is an awesome tool. I only wish that I had bought one sooner. You may be able to find one around for a little cheaper, however you likely pay more with shipping. I recieved the item quickly and it is now part of my tool bag on the motorcycle.

Performs admirably for all chain functions

Amazing. Absolutely amazing. The only tool you need to break a chain press a master link and peen a rivet. Cannot recommend highly enough. Very well thought out and designed.

I purchased this to replace the chain on my GSXR. It worked great. I broke the old chain master link without cutting the rivet heads. The new chain required a few links be removed so I used a dremel with a cut off wheel and make 4 small cuts, shaped like a square, around the pin head. The tool then pushed the pins out easily. Like others have said, oil the threads well and follow the directions. Measure your master link width after pressing and the flares with a digital caliper and it will turn out great!

I needed this tool to break an old chain and install a new chain with solid style rivet pins. This was not only the best priced option, but sleek looking with an innovative simple design that I thought would last a long time. This chain tool comes in a cool blue blow-mold case to hold everything, and comes with an spare pin which is good. I filed the pin head on the old chain flush with the connecting plate just like on the instructions, and then proceeded to line up the tool correctly to press out the pin. I got about midway through pressing out the old pin when it became pretty difficult to turn the press bolt. I kept turning slowly and the pin finally came out and I was able to get the old chain off. Unfortunately after i took the tool apart to see why it was hard to turn, i saw that the bottom of the bolt that presses against the extractor pin (the third object from the left in the main picture) had broken part of the bottom while in contact with the extractor pin. This tool comes oiled from the factory and I even applied a little grease to the threads to ensure this would not happen. I could not believe that on the very first use of this tool it had a piece break off! There is no replacement for this bolt available from motion pro yet, i dont know if that is because the tool is new or what but i will definitely need to get one soon. I am afraid to use the tool to break another chain, for fear of breaking the tool. Thankfully I could still use the tool to press on the rivet link of the new chain, and was able to start riveting the solid pins, but i need a vice to hold the tool because it is impossible to hold the tool with your hand and rivet the solid pins with a wrench. Also, the quad-stake rivet attachment for riveting solid pins is rectangular in shape and not round as the picture suggests. This is a better design so that the attachment wont spin around while youre trying to rivet those pins straight on. The attachment for riveting hollow-nose pins is round, like in the picture. All in all its a cool compact tool, and i do like its design but was a little disappointed with the strength of the top bolt and Motion Pro needs to have all the pieces available for replacement!

This tool is what you need if you change your own chains on your motorcycles. Good for using with either Clip Master Links and Rivet Master Links.

If you work on motorcycles this is the tool to buy to replace the chain. I tried a cheaper tool like this one at first and it broke on the first use. The pins bent and the bolt snapped. If you don’t want to lose money like I did buy the Motion Pro Brand.

Great product, perfect for my needs, easy to use. Fast delivery
