Motion Pro 08-0470 PBR Chain Breaker

Its a bit fiddly to set up, and I wish it were easier to hold steady and provided greater leverage on the rivet while in use, but it fastened the new 530 chain on my bike just fine and is compact for easy transport.

As another reviewer (Phatty) noted, on the first use the tip of the drive bolt fractured. It should be noted that there was minimal force involved in pressing out the pin. This type of failure is indicative of improper heat treating. However, I was able to continue using the tool to press out 3 more pins to complete the job but the fracturing got progressively worse. I filled out a contact us form on the manufacturers web site 2 weeks ago but havent received a response. They now have a replacement part available [...] for $8 but I fail to see why I should have to pay for a defective part. I realize that sometimes defective products get out on the shelves and when a manufacturer makes good on the product, I dont hold it against them. But when Im totally ignored, thats the last time I buy their products.

I have worked on bicycles my whole life and after spending a fortune to let the dealer put on a new chain and sprockets for me I figured it was time to learn how to do it myself. I watched the Motion Pro video on YouTube and followed their instructions. I was able to push the pin out of my 525 chain with very little effort. The pressing went perfectly and I measured with a cheap Amazon set of calipers. The press part was easy, you just have to remember to go a little at at time and just dont crush down. This tool is the bomb and worth the money.

Works like its supposed to.

Expensive but well worth it. Couldnt have done the chain install without it.

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

it did exactly what I needed it to do. the only thing I dont like is that the block had to be placed exactly in the right spot or it wouldnt break, press rivet right.....it would have been nice if it had grooves to hold the block where it is supposed to be. it wasnt hard to line up but groves would have made it easier to use.

Great Product! Highly recommended! Motion Pro builds great tools for the job. This is the best chain breaker/rivet tool I have used. Worth every penny!

More expensive then the other options on Amazon, but if you want a tool that was built to last forever and can do everything you could ever need in regards to motorcycle/atv/dirtbike chains, this is it.

The tool appears to be realatively well made---not Snap On quality but not Chinese junk either. It does not have the rough cast look like the cheaper tools offerd on the market. I am pleased so far, The proof in often in the quality of the material and the all important heat treatment. Have not used yet---we will see.
