Motion Pro Chain Breaker & Riveting Tool

I bought this a while back to break and rivet chains on numerous mx chains when needed from small 420 chain to larger chains. first of all it broke the main tip on a 420 chain half way through pushing out the pin. i was in a hurry so i had to use and break all the other pins to get the correct chain length on the new chain for my sons bike.
So since i spent 80 bucks on this thing.I decided to buy the replacement pin for mx chain for 6. 99 i think. today i went to break another new chain down to length for my yz 125. the bolt that pushes the spring and pin down and through the chain roll stripped out the threads because it couldnt even handle pushing out another pin. my check list was clean as far as, no i did not cross threads. no i did not over tighten. yes i did grind the pin down before i worked on it even on the 420 chain though the instructions say you dont have to on small chains. I really like motosport and am disappointed that they would carry an overpriced brand of tools that obviously uses cheap metal to construct their tools.

I went with the big heavy duty one...why? Because I break things.
This is Motion Pro...they make tools for the maintenance of our bikes. They must do their research. This tool works well. Made quick work of a 520 chain I removed. Plus installation of the new chain.
I do use the angle grinder for removal. Plus, I picked up extra anvils and pins... probably won't be needing them...but I have them now!
Wanna change your chain quick. Get this tool. It effing rocks.

I totally screwed up by not reading the directions first and thinking I knew it all the easy way to do this chain replacement is break the chain with a grinder or the cheap chain breaker from harbor freight don't break your tips for the easy stuff. The rivet tip is handy. Wish the site came with a video of the more inexperienced users so the real experts can show the novices how to correctly use other wise good product a little expensive but worth the price.

Broke 2 pins with the first couple times using

Ordered it to make 520 master link on CRF 250X but the anvil insert sheared into four pieces on its first use. The kit is nice but the tooling appears mostly cast and is not machined from hardened alloy or tool steel that would make the tool durable. Using the recommended box wrench, it only generates enough torque to mushroom the OD of each rivet to the low side of the tolerance. This is not the tool I expected from Motion Pro. Perhaps it is suitable for smaller chains and Motion Pro needs to offer a kit suitable for common 520 drive chains. However, Motosport exceeded my expectations taking care of the issue and since the broken part was on back order, they shipped a new kit out right away.

I am not new to bikes or tools but this thing was total junk. Breaks very easily even when using it properly... Straight to the trash, never buying anything from this brand again.

I bought the chain breaker, and followed all the instructions perfectly. Only problem I had was with riveting my new chain link. The large anvil was made with a groove so the link would stay in place , but if too much pressure is applied in the middle, it will snap and leave you unhappy. I substituted a press plate for the broken anvil and it worked. Everything else in the tool kit did what it was intended to do. Do not put a lot of pressure on the anvil or any other part, and you'll be fine.

Broke one of the pins learning how to use it..but the other pins work perfect and can take the place of the broken one. Take your time learning how to use this tool and it will last a long time like mine!!

Awesome Motion Pro kit!!! Great directions! And yes, grind the peen off before thinking you can push it through especially on a 530 chain. It's simple physics and common sense. Simply cutting the old worn out chain off with a grinder is faster and easier. The rivet pin works awesome on new street chains with rivet style master links! DO NOT OVER FLARE IT IS KEY!!! Follow the directions with one revolution! Thanks MotoSport for having this in stock available with super fast shipping.

If you want to brake your chain and then re-install a new one this product will do it. Just be careful and read the directions..one of the components is fragile and can brake if you don't follow the directions...that's my fault. I have used this 5 times already and it still kicks butt!!
