Motion Pro 08-0470 PBR Chain Breaker

Works great. Little annoying to use but works.

Performed as advertised. Broke a 530 chaine that had the rivets ground down and rivetted a new chain perfectly

I did some research on the different types of chain breaker tools and I decided on the Motion Pro 08-0470 PBR Chain Breaker. The all-in-one anvil block was as easy to use as I was hoping. I had no issues with broken tips or broken riveting head. Everything fits neatly in the provided case. Overall Im happy with this tool and it made my first motorcycle chain replacement very easy. Note: I went from a 525 to a 520 chain and associated sprockets.

durable, functional, works 100%

It broke, but the company sent me their newer version for free and I have not had any problems since.

After breaking the pin on a cheaper chain tool, we bought this one and could not be happier.

I needed this tool to break an old chain and install a new chain with solid style rivet pins. This was not only the best priced option, but sleek looking with an innovative simple design that I thought would last a long time. This chain tool comes in a cool blue blow-mold case to hold everything, and comes with an spare pin which is good. I filed the pin head on the old chain flush with the connecting plate just like on the instructions, and then proceeded to line up the tool correctly to press out the pin. I got about midway through pressing out the old pin when it became pretty difficult to turn the press bolt. I kept turning slowly and the pin finally came out and I was able to get the old chain off. Unfortunately after i took the tool apart to see why it was hard to turn, i saw that the bottom of the bolt that presses against the extractor pin (the third object from the left in the main picture) had broken part of the bottom while in contact with the extractor pin. This tool comes oiled from the factory and I even applied a little grease to the threads to ensure this would not happen. I could not believe that on the very first use of this tool it had a piece break off! There is no replacement for this bolt available from motion pro yet, i dont know if that is because the tool is new or what but i will definitely need to get one soon. I am afraid to use the tool to break another chain, for fear of breaking the tool. Thankfully I could still use the tool to press on the rivet link of the new chain, and was able to start riveting the solid pins, but i need a vice to hold the tool because it is impossible to hold the tool with your hand and rivet the solid pins with a wrench. Also, the quad-stake rivet attachment for riveting solid pins is rectangular in shape and not round as the picture suggests. This is a better design so that the attachment wont spin around while youre trying to rivet those pins straight on. The attachment for riveting hollow-nose pins is round, like in the picture. All in all its a cool compact tool, and i do like its design but was a little disappointed with the strength of the top bolt and Motion Pro needs to have all the pieces available for replacement!

Changed my first chain with this tool yesterday. Everything worked well. They included an extra rivet extraction pin. I didnt file off the rivet heads and had no issues breaking the old chain or removing a link from the new chain.

Great tool easy to use, well made.

Mine broke on the first use... So frustrating. Hollow bolt snapped at the threads when crushing a quad stake rivet. I wasnt cranking it down quickly or wrenching it hard. I did one light attempt backed it off... checked it and started tightening it again and it popped spring shot across the room. Bummed :( Id like my money back.
