A chain tool that just does what it's supposed to do

- Ad, 20 November, 2025

I have had the opportunity to use both this one and the Mantel punch. This one is just fine. You can secure the chain well in the punch and it comes with a bracket to keep the chain in tension when you insert the quick link or connecting pin. The big advantage is that you need less force for this than for the Mantel version. You pay a little bit more for it but this one is so much better.

Pros & Cons

Bracket to hold chain together
Can hold chain in place well
Much better than the Mantel punch
Still need to apply some force

Handy and effective

- Rob, 27 July, 2020

Handy chain punch at a great price. Handy size and does what it is supposed to do. With a clamp you can tighten and center the chain so that removing the pin is easy. With the included bracket you can easily de-energize the chain, which simplifies the installation of a new chain.

Pros & Cons

Clamp to de-energize chain

Good price
Quality and grip
