Motion Pro 08-0470 PBR Chain Breaker

This tool is awesome! I wish I would have had one years ago. Its was definitely worth the price tag, its a quality tool with years of life, plus Motion Pro sells replacement parts if you do manage to loose or break a piece. I dont see how anyone broke a pin, but it does come with a replacement.

If I could give it ZER0 stars I would. Riveting tool broke on FIRST use. Dont believe the other reviews.

So far, so good. I had analysis paralysis trying to pick a chain tool for my project of lengthening my 530 chain. I finally chose this one as it had good reviews for the price, and came with an extra extractor pin in case I messed up. First time using a chain tool ever, I extracted 4 pins and riveted 4 pins, no damage to the tool. Very satisfied so far.

Save your self a lot of shop repair and maintenance money and buy this product. Easy to use and quality is bar none the best.

Super it works well good service as well

Great product, easy to use. Performed beautifully on my 520 o-ring chain, and with minimal effort.

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

This is a great tool. Id never replaced my own chain before but after purchasing a bike for the track decided to do as much of the work on it as I could myself. The OEM chain was showing rust and the stock sprockets needed to go. Took my time and using this tool installed a 520 DID x-ring chain. This tool worked exactly as expected, I think many of the failures you read about from consumer chain tools are due to improper use and care. Some tips: use a Dremel tool to cut the old chains rivet heads, then using this tool its easy to break the chain. YOU MUST LUBRICATE THIS TOOL. You will be putting a LOT Of force on the threads on this tool, the oil that it comes in is light and just there to prevent corrosion, it will not lubricate it. Coat the threads thoroughly with a fairly heavy grease (I used some old Rock Shox Judy Butter), this will keep things moving and prevent binding under stress. Also, to flare the rivets you will be using a good amount of force, plan on using a breaker bar or strong ratchet/wrench. Finally, the specifications for how much to flare the rivet are very precise and you will need a digital caliper if youre going to make an accurate reading.

After reviewing many chain breakers here on Amazon, and reading how it should be done. I will say that if you try to break the riveted chain without grinding off the heads, you probably will break the the tool. These pins are hardened steel. I ground off the heads as recommended and this tool pushed the pins right out. It also did a fine job of mushrooming the pins on the new master link. Go slow and read the instructions and you should be fine.

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.
