I am changing a chain on an old honda and everytime i use the Motion pro tool (either to push out rivets after I have ground them down to remove the link, or in riveting the new link, I curse the thing. It is just a bad tool - than handles are too small to give the needed leverage and the push pins and riveter are too flimsy for even a 530 chain.

Is there another tool people have used with good luck/experience?


thanks

 

You can get this one for 20 bucks. It is the exact same one on the DID Chains website that sells for over $100.00. (Don't ask me how they do it for that price?) Anyway, I have this one & it is very heavy duty. I haven't used it yet, but it should get the job done.

Just click on the link. It's about 3/4 of the way down the page.

i have the motion pro and just use a wrench instead of the handle.

very nice, will check that out.

I also use a larger wrench instead but after enough uses I have broken pin and one anvil so far with the added leverage.

 

I try and keep a spare pin laying around for my motion pro. How do you guys with the motion pro chain breaker tool rivet the new master link?
