Motion Pro 08-0470 PBR Chain Breaker

Upon first use, the pin bent a little bit. Not the end of the world, but I was disappointed. All in all, I pressed out two rivets successfully. Upon peening the rivets on the new master link, the peening attachment shattered on the first rivet. Pieces of it shot wildly around the garage. I only recovered two of three pieces. It seems that the design of this attachment is just too small and weak for the job. Im sending it back for a refund tomorrow and trying the Motion pro Jumbo next. Wish me luck! Ive seen a few mentions of a failed drive bolt. It doesnt say this in the instructions, but the threads of the bolt need to be lubricated prior to use. Any type of oil or anti-sieze will do. Reducing friction at the threads will reduce the amount of force needed, which will probably save the drive bolt every time.

This is a decent little tool that as soon as you pick up the main piece, youll know where most of your money went. It also performs exceptionally well with one serious caveat. The first time i put this thing to use, the round-nose rivet attachment exploded in my face and across the garage with sharp metal shards traveling at speeds I dont have the instruments to measure accurately. I didnt crank down on it with my spaghetti arms and I followed all directions to a T. Wear safety goggles and keep your mouth closed if thats how you roll. And buy a few spares of the rivet-nose round attachment, found on amazon for around $12 apiece. I only marked this a 2 because of the danger factor involved. Youve been warned.

A very compact and complete set of tool!!!!

Then it will work as stated perfectly

Good quality. Worked like a champ.

The rear sprocket on my G650GS looks like its nearing the end of its life. With a preference to do everything myself, I began purchasing tools I would need to replace the chain and sprockets. There are a lot of different chain breaker and rivet kits out there. Most of them are cheap and not worth the money. Motion Pro makes two chain breaker and rivet kit, the more expensive one here is the one you should get. What stood out with this kit is that its not intended for single use (Good luck getting more than a single use from the kits under $100. In fact, plan to have the pins break or the threads strip the first time around and unable to finish the job with those less expensive kits). Its intended to be maintained and the threads cleaned and greased between uses. In fact, it even came with a small pack of grease to help you do that. This kit also came with colored instructions written by someone who speaks English and detailed pictures showing you each step of the process from breaking, pressing, and riveting. Its been a long time since Ive purchased a tool with such high quality and well put together instructions (actually I cant remember any tool I have which even comes close)! The tool came in its own little box. It has fewer parts than the typical run of the mill kit, but this is actually a benefit of this kit. You see rather manufacturer different anvils and press plates for the job, Motion Pro designed all those features into a neat little block that you rotate on the breaker tool to carry out the different functions. No more fumbling with figuring out which adapters or part you need for what you are doing. The multi-function block in this kit has the letters R, B, and P stenciled on it. You simply rotate the block to align the letters on the breaker tool to rivet, break, or press. Brilliant! The Motion Pro kit is also one of those kits where the pin is actually strong enough to break the roller pin on the chain. However, there is no need to put the tool to this kind of abuse. I simply grounded of the head of the pin with an angle grinder first. This is a great kit for anyone wanting to replace their chains on their own. Please dont cheap out on a cheaper kit and just buy this Motion Pro kit instead. The extra money you spend will save you time and frustration working with inferior quality tools that would break or improperly install your chain. Motion Pro makes great products and this PBR chain breaker tool is one of them!

Item as decribed. Came with instructions.

Amazing tool.. Im glad I purchased it, made the job so much easier.. and fast shipping that stopped me from borrowing it from a friend.

Good tool, much better than the cheap cast sets that break.

Dont waste your money buying something twice and pay for this once! Great tool and totally worth the price. Ive been through several cheap chain breakers and all of them break on first use. Not this thing! Made taking and putting on my 530 chain a breeze! Why didnt I buy this sooner?!
