Ultra heavy duty for breaking and riveting roller chain.
This tool will break all 520, 525, 530, 630 standard or O-ring type chain.
The Motion Pro Jumbo Chain Tool will push the pin completely through the chain link and is designed to rivet chain up to 530 with the included rivet adapter.
This tool is manufactured from heat-treated, chrome-moly steel and the extractor pin is guided by a removable guide fitting, ensuring long pin life.
The tool body may be bolted to a work bench for production work, held in a vise or by the included handle.
Includes a masterlink sideplate press kit to press on sideplates on chain up to 530.
Made in the U.S.A. Replacement pins available separately.
Pros: Heavy duty, well built and easy to use. Will give me many years of service.
Cons: When pressing on the side plate as the pins do not always line up with the holes in the tool and will not press through enough to be rivited. Perhapes make the guides have a recess to locate the plates to make sure they are inline with the pins.
Small detail as its easily overcome.

Great tool
By Mati-O from Chicago, IL on 07/07/2008
Pros: My first try at breaking a chain.Hefty tool. Its easy to break the chain by hand alone and it has holes on the bottom to bolt it to a board or table when putting it back together. On my Ducati the chain has to be put on-site because it goes through the swingarm. I just bolted it to a plank for stability and went at it.
Cons: Careful using a big 2ft long socket wrench it may over squeeze the masterlink and make it split, take ur time and get a even spread. The inside spring of mine got squished after serveral breaks because I squeezed the pin all the way out, I use a spring from a ink pen to replace.
Comments: I dont use a regular wrench, instead a good T-handle ratchet set will do the job. Good instructions.

Pros: Very quick and easy to use, with an impact wrench I spent 20 minutes total doing the chain.
Cons: The instructions are a little vague but its pretty straight forward to use and can be figured out with a little time.

Love this little tool!
By Christopher from Denver, CO on 02/21/2008
Pros: Extremely sturdy tool, has the option to use the screw-in handle for on-the-bike use, or to bolt it down to a table or workbench. All the attachments necessary are included: to break a chain, press a masterlink plate, or rivet pins. The instructions are very straightforward, and it was extremely easy with just garage tools (and a little help from my impact wrench) to break my old 520 chain, press the plate on the new chain, and rivet the masterlink together in under 10 minutes!
Cons: It's a little on the pricey side, but you get what you pay for.
