Great product

This product helped me repair my detailer on my Lectric 2.0. I had to remove the chain and this product is not cheaply made. Glad I'll have it around for a long time!

Excellent little necessary addition to your biking toolbox. Good performance, ease of use, and fit. Even better price.

Works well. Very sturdy.

I came very close to purchasing a premium name chain break tool. However, I read one negative comment on an expensive chain break tool and kept searching until I found this one…yes, it is as sturdy and durable as it looks. I used it to break a KMC hv700 chain on my Fuji Traverse 1.5 24 speed (3 chain ring & 8 speed cassette). This very reasonably priced tool easily punched out the pin on my “narrow” 1/2” x 3/32” chain. I was so happy I went ahead and did a chain replacement on my other bike (I had purchased 2 KMC Z8.1 chains with included MissingLink BR/CL571R, one chain as a spare). This tool paid for itself on the first use! Very happy! (I opted to buy this sturdy looking single tool rather than a cheaper looking “kit” which had extra tools for clicking the MissingLink to lock it, etc….I just put it on and easily click the MissingLing by using the crank and chainring and holding the wheel… no tool needed.)Note: I have no idea about using this tool on “mushroom” type rivets on higher end chains. At first, I had considered buying a higher end chain with “ mushroom” rivets and hardened links. However, I decided that a super hardened chain would likely just wear my cheap Shimano cassettes even faster. So I am very happy to stick with the standard “ narrow” KMC chains and cassettes that I already had.

My wife and I are retired, and spend 6 months of the year traveling in our small RV.We have a bike rack and take our two 17 year old Schwinn’s along. Biking and kayakingare two of our fave activities! The bikes have received a lot of use, live outdoors, andwere starting to look kind of shabby ☹️. So, I decided it was time to show them alittle love!Although the chains were cleaned and lubed with Boeshield on a “fairly regular” basis,our time in Florida (particularly camping along the Atlantic and Gulf coastal beaches’ salt air)had taken its’ toll. They were getting pretty rusty, and needed replacement before further damagewas done to the gears. So, along with new rim strips/tubes/tires/brake cables/brakes, andcleaning and polishing products, I hit Youtube for guidance and advice. I’d neverdone any “major bike maintenance ”, and it was fun learning what needed to be done, andhow that could be accomplished.That somewhat lengthy preface brings me to chain replacement! I looked at the differentofferings for chain breaker tools, and read lots of reviews on Amazon. There’s the “bluebicycle tool company” which is certainly a major player, and very well known. There wereseveral remarkably “cheap” chain breaks at the other end of the “spectrum”, which“by and large” received mediocre to very poor reviews.Then there was ATLIN! The Amazon reviews were consistently praiseworthy, andthemes like “high quality”, “great design”, and “easy to use” were expressed over,and over again! In addition, it was priced competitively. I was sold!I purchased the ATLIN chain breaker, and once the new replacement chains arrived setout to upgrading our bikes. In the meantime, I had received an email from ATLIN outlining(in very clear terms) how to use their tool. How thoughtful!The rear wheels were removed from our 21 speed bikes, and I set about breaking the chain.The first break on the old chain went very well, and I felt instantly more confident in my abilityto do these maintenance tasks. The second break also went well for sizing the replacementchain.I was concentrating on getting the new chain sized properly (“measure twice/cut once”). Then,a problem occurred. As I was working on the new bike chain, I neglected to extractthe last removed pin from the chain breaker tool. It seemed like more effort wasrequired than before, but I just cranked a little harder. Then it dawned on me what hadhappened!I backed the tool out, and removed the pin in question. Unfortunately, in the process Ihad bent the tools extraction pin. The “bend” was definitely noticeable when I spun the toolcrank. That meant it would be nearly impossible to center the break properly for the nextuse.I realize ATLIN thoughtfully includes a spare extraction pin along with the tool, and I installedthat back-up. The rest of the chain work went fine.My concern was I now didn’t have a back-up extraction pin. I don’t believe I’ll make the samemistake again, but I’d feel better if I could obtain another spare pin. It was my silly mistakethat caused this problem, and I was more than happy to pay for a replacement extractor.I try to take care of my tools, but sometimes things happen. This is one of those times.After relaying my predicament to Blake (the owner of ATLIN tools) he graciously offered to send me another backup extractor pin. How wonderful that they were willing to take care of a “user induced” error! What a terrific business model!Thanks to ATLIN for manufacturing a quality tool, and looking after your customers. You owe it to yourself to do business with these folks. They are good people!I wish them continued success.

I would rate this 5 for all the greatness it is but 1 thing I didnt like and that is its so easy to push the pin or whatever the thing is in between the chain links out completely.On my first try I pushed the pin out all the way.Regyardless I can yet tell this is a very good tool.Its heavy duty,acurate and easyish.I wouldnt recommend to this to new people sorry though it is a 5 star product for non new people.Oh also the handle part isnt too good the part (the screw thing not the pushing thing) is striped.3 stars now.Yet is as low as Il go because it is at least 3 stars Im sure a very great one costs 20 plus dollars.Overall is worth 12 dollars just best if not new at it.
