Pros: This is an excellent, easy to use chain press tool. It's compact, and doesnt take up a lot of space in your tool kit unlike the complete Motion Pro chain tool kit. It's well made and I honestly think it'll last a lifetime for me. Pressed the masterlink on in under two minutes.

Cons: The only negative I can think of is you have to buy either a rivet tool or the Motion Pro Replacement rivet tip (which can be used with this chain press tool) to actually press flare the rivet head. You would also need to purchase a chain breaker or one of the Motion Pro replacement chain breaker tips (which I imagine could also be used with this tool) to break your old chain if you dont want to just cut it off for any reason.
