Review on Oumers Bike Link Plier - 2 in 1 Chain Plier for Missing Link, Opener, Closer, and Remover - Compatible with All Speed Chains - Bicycle Chain Repair Tool by Franz Esquivel

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works with Shimano quick links BUT

I bought this chain tool specifically for Shimano quick links. Most other brands of quick links, like KMC, can be closed with a good chain hoist without tools, but Shimano chains require a bit more strength. , otherwise it will prevent the jaws from opening wide enough. It took me about 10 minutes with a milling file. Then it worked perfectly: slip the jaws around the outer (not inner!) quick connector, then a quick spread of the grips (like you break the wishbone) completely closes the connector. I would give it 5 stars as this tool saved me from having to buy a $51 "official Shimano" chain tool, but the manufacturer has to remove the tab and use a stop adjustment screw instead to easily adjust it when needed can be removed . A REAL SIMPLE SOLUTION: OUMERS .

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Some problems
