Default Chain Tool Kit

I just returned from Cycle Gear with a Chain Tool Kit. It's made by Stockton and is reg $89. It's on sale for $29 with purchase. I bought a .75 cent Sticker. I couldnt be happier, unless the Sharks won.

Oh yea, GoPro for $239. Same as Overstock. No I didnt buy it, yet

+1!

The reviews are mixed on the kit, but at that price it's worth trying.

I got one also. I broke one pin by using the wrong size for the bike chain, but once I had the right pin in there it worked great. I didn't even grind down my rivet.

Between my friend and I we've broken every chain tool out there, they all suck. So when these went on sale for $30 I grabbed it! If they all are going to suck you might as well buy the cheap ones.

what i found easiest and best way to do it is to grind off the rivet head then take the right size pin and push the rivet out. works great and u dont break the tool!

Something is wrong in your process, I cant see how I could have broke it if I tried. I do agree about the price though
