MrBadExxample Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 I read about this on another site and ordered one. So in a couple of days I'll be able to give you a first hand opinion. Here's the thread where I read about it. ADVRider Thread The discussion of the tool starts several posts from the top. Apparently it's identical to the DID chain tool, but $130 less. The chain tool is halfway down the page Chain Tool I went ahead and ordered a couple more tire spoons ($6.00/each) and a rim saver set to get the free shipping.

MrBadExxample Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 But does it come with shemale porn? I don't think it does. Drop ship it to me, I'll add the porn. It's what I do best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcrich Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Did you also get the side plate press tool for $4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBadExxample Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 I got the chain tool last week, arrived in two days via FedEx. I haven't used it yet, so this review is incomplete. However, it certainly seems sturdy enough to flare out master links. I wouldn't use it to break the chain, nor any chain tool. Instead I cut off the link heads with a cutting wheel on a dremel tool. Then I would use this tool to press the links out. The tool comes in a small plastic case and is more compact than most chain tools, conducive for traveling. The push-through pin has a flare adapter on the other end. The plate can be fitted over the flare adapter and used as a side plate press tool. Did I mention it's only $16?

MrBadExxample Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 BTW, how much was it? The non-pedophile price is $16.00. I don't know what they'd charge you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottw Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I bought one also. The tool, replacement tip (In case I break one), the side plate presser with tax and shipping was $31.80. I don't need the tool now, but will eventually and couldn't pass up the deal. I was going tp pop for the RK tool for around a $100.00 until this came along.

MrBadExxample Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 I replaced a 530 chain today using this tool. It worked great, no problems. Although at times I wished I had three hands to hold various parts in place until they could be tensioned. A couple of suggestions. Use 27mm and 19mm box wrenches on the tool. Open end wrenches tended to fall off the tool at awkward times. The first thing I had to do was remove ten links from the 120 chain. The XX uses a 110 chain, but most new chains are 120 links and the customer is expected to remove the extra links. Not a problem. To remove the links I cut the pin head off with a dremel tool and cut-off wheel. I then used the pin extractor part of this tool to push out the headless pin. Press on the master link plate with the plate press adapter. Stake the master link pins using the flare adapter. It's on the opposite end of the pin extractor. Don't confuse the two, you'll probably break the pin extractor if you try to stake with it. Also make sure the back of the master link pins are in the recessed areas. This aligns the flare tool over the pin. There's indicators on the side of the tool to help you align it properly. Anyhow it worked like a champ. The pin head in the photo is 5.70 mm in diameter. The range for a DID chain is 5.50 - 5.80mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwimack Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 If you look at the bottom of the letter J in the word JAPAN on the master link there is a wee bit of grease/oil you missed................................. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLyFoXX Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Used the $16 chain tool and works like a champ! I used my dremel to remove my chain, the push pin is a POS and just used a center punch to remove the pin. For $16 to press the chain this thing works great!

CxBXR Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Thanks for the linky, I have been needing one & at that price could not pass it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TuffguyF4i Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I used mine about 2 weeks ago. Worked great. I over tightened the tool when i was forming the rivet ends (do not crank till the forming tool is flush with the chain link). The link binds a little...not really that big of a deal. I'm sure it will wear in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K9XX Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Got it last week...used it on 2 chains so far with no issues. Works just as well as the Motion Pro tool set I paid $100 years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Para045 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 $50 now Broke my pin, going to order some replacements. Yeah I bought one last year when I did my new chain/sprockets and busted a pin trying to pop out the link pin (even after I ground the head off ), luckily I ordered a spare when I got it It worked OK other than that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhubarbray Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Not from them, but I have another couple of tools that have come in VERY handy. The deep 90 circlip pliers for getting the clips out of the master cylinders. Makes the job a piece of cake. And the brake piston pliers for rotating the pistons while in the bore. Only used them once but very nice. They do happen to have a few,....well ok more than a few,.....tools I`d like to have in my toolbox "just in case". OK, speak up, how many more of you are tool junkies too??!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
