Review on Effortless Bicycle Chain Maintenance: Ozzy Outdoors Bike Chain Cleaning Tool with Rotating Brushes - Get a Bonus Gift! by Michael Briggs

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The Ozzy attempts an alternative to the White Lightening chain cleaner and seems well made with unique features.

The case for the Ozzy vacuum is thick and strong, but the teeth on the top cover of the case don't snap, so we can use duct tape to hold the cover in place. The Ozzy has a rubber wiper channel at the end (towards the crankset) that serves to wipe cleaning fluid off the chain, which can help reduce mess. The internal gears and beach bristle brushes are well made and should last a long time. Comes with two packets of chain cleaner but after those have been used we plan on using Simple Green or the regular purple degreaser most people have in their garage/home. Tried this as an alternative to the original old school 'White Lightning Bike Chain Cleaner Kit' we used which is also available through Revain. White Lightning matrices do not have an Ozzy chain cleaning function, only three long-fiber inner brushes.

Pros
  • ✓ DURABILITY. Constructed from durable plastic for superior performance over the lifetime. There are no fragile metal parts to rust and break off. No useless sponges that fall off after a few uses. Simple, well-designed rotating cleaning brushes in a tough plastic case to keep your chains clean.
Cons
  • Crumpled Packaging
