Could be better

- Tom, 5 February, 2023

Handle broken on first use. The lever is also very small which made it very difficult for me to push the pin out of my chain. Finally broke the handle and put a pair of pliers on it, then it worked.

Pros & Cons

Compact
Bit too compact

Does a great job but just awkward to use.

- Frederique, 10 January, 2023

It does t fine but I needed a sturdy screwdriver that I had to put through the hole in the handle to get enough arm/moment. And I dare call myself pretty strong. Slightly longer handle would be nice. Then again, how often do you use such a thing...it's sturdy enough

Pros & Cons

Cheap
Does the job
Awkward force distribution
Longer arm (moment) needed
Too small handle

Does what it needs to do!

- Willem, 13 December, 2022

Briefly hesitated to buy it due to some negative reviews. Have since used it to shorten a new chain and if you center the pin in the middle of the link it comes out easily. Of course you have to use a little more force than the larger pliers. All in all satisfied for occasional use, especially for this price!

Pros & Cons

Compact, fits in saddlebag
Lightweight
Slightly smaller so you have to apply more force

This tool is more for troubleshooting (saddle bag) than for working in a workshop.

- Jean-Paul, 26 November, 2022

I used it to mount my chain that I bought on the site, but for the workshop I will invest in a larger model that fits better in the hand.

Pros & Cons

Easy to fit in a saddlebag on the v
Inexpensive and practical
A little small for use on a training ride
