Review on 🔧 ABN 13-Piece Chain Breaker Set with Carrying Case – Motorcycle, Bike, ATV Chain Cutter and Riveter by Wayne Seba

I do not know who here leaves positive feedback on this garbage! I *can* work with a bike or moped chain, but as an experienced mechanic, I had a terrible time with this thing. He failed for four reasons and couldn't do his job. The black steel denotes grade 8 tool steel. The blackness on these parts comes from the paint, not the forging. In fact, a spark test of the components showed they were mild, non-hardenable steel. Your chain components are forged and hardened. So if you try to flare a rivet, the tool will crumble before the flare can occur. The "C" portion of this tool (which usually fails in cheap versions of this tool) is bold and ready to go. However, tool bits are made of mild steel and crumble easily. When braking or cutting the chain, I use an angle grinder to flatten the pins and make the tool lighter. After only 3 pins were pressed in, my nozzle was visibly deformed. Also, to make a motorcycle chain, the spring must be removed as it does not allow the push rod to push far enough to fully push the pin out. The tool survived the Masterlink installation process. hardened pins with an anvil and riveting tool, you can see that the tip of the riveting tool has just crumbled and taken the shape of a pin. With further pressure the bolt broke off. I ended up with a hardened bolt that matched the threads and quickly sewed a flare onto it. At this point the weak sleeve simply snapped off before the pin could push 0.55mm into the shape shown. The point is, it's not a tool. This is a double. And goes back.
