Motion Pro 08-0470 PBR Chain Breaker

Used to do a first-time chain replacement and worked amazingly well on a well-worn chain. Being my first time I did mess up the riveting process but that was on me skipping a step along the way (a very hard one to miss but I did). The product feels very sturdy and very solid, I would argue the price is still a tad excessive but I expect it will last for the rest of my life and definitely the lives of many chains and bikes. Would buy again.

Worked perfectly, no issues. Plastic box it came in was broken when received. Thats the reason for the 4 stars.

Dont skimp and buy a cheaper tool. Ive bought other chain breakers but the Motion Pro chain breaker/riveter is so much easier to use and is heavy duty and really well made and will last a lifetime. Couldnt be happier with my purchase

Using this tool on a RTW motorcycle trip, swapped out four chains so far and this makes it super easy

Actually works like a champ. And ridiculously easy to use. I am the kind of guy that uses a Dremel to cut the rivet heads off of the old master link by the way. Anyone who has a less than five-star review experience with this chain breaker was just unlucky. I think this tool set is really awesome and highly recommend.

Ive never used one of these before, and with a little help from the instructions and a youtube video, installing a new chain was a breeze. I didnt use it for chain removal, since bolt cutters seem like a much easier option. I did slightly crush the magnet on the forcing screw a bit, but that was my own fault for not following the instructions closely enough, so beware of that.

Easy to use, well built, comes in a durable box.

I tried so many other chain presses & have had trouble with a few of them. This brand is very durable. I’ve used others and either the press creases or the ball that flares out would damage. This press works When I’m tightening to flare out chain, the chain press works amazingly with little effort. Golden rule, you usually pay for what you get in quality. I have bought the cheaper ones and only got 2 chains out of it before it broke/ wore out. You won’t be disappointed with the motion pro PBR chain breaker/press.

Im yet to be convinced about the quality. Tool is simple enough to use once you read the manual and try it out. It takes quiet some strength to flare a new chain assembly which I had to use pliers for, scratching the tool and exposing sharp metal. Perhaps 2 tools would be better, one for disassembling the old chain and one for flaring the new. Delivery from Amazon was very slow
