Motorcycle chain breaker tool set with three pin sizes

Home mechanics who maintain motorcycle chains themselves may appreciate having one tool for both removing chain pins and riveting new ones.

The kit includes three breaking-pin sizes, anvils and press plates, plus a slotted case for keeping the parts together.

It is a hands-on maintenance tool, not a chain-specific fit guarantee: you’ll need to match the pin and anvil to the chain you’re working on.

What to know

This motorcycle chain breaker and rivet tool is designed to push pins out of worn chains and help with riveting replacement chains. Its three pins are listed for cam chains at 2.2 mm, #25 to #35 chains at 2.9 mm, and #428 to #630 chains at 3.8 mm. The description also mentions motorcycle and bicycle use, but the chain specification is the more useful guide when deciding whether it suits your job.

The set includes a rivet tip, lever, handle, spring, chain press, three breaking pins, case, three anvils and two press plates. Steel is the stated main material. The extended lever is intended to increase torque, while the knurled handle is designed to provide a more secure grip. Keep in mind that having several pin sizes does not make the tool universal: a mismatched pin or anvil may not suit the chain being serviced.

Best use cases

This setup makes sense for routine chain work where you need to remove a pin and then press or rivet a link, rather than buying separate tools for each task. For example, during a chain replacement, you can select the pin that matches the chain, position the anvil, line the tool up with the pin and turn the lever to push it through. The case helps keep the small components together between jobs.

It suits you if you already know your chain type and want a portable kit for occasional maintenance. If your work is limited to basic cleaning and lubrication, a breaker may not be necessary, if you service a chain type outside the listed ranges, this description does not establish that it will fit.

Tips for day-to-day use

Before applying force, identify the chain and select the corresponding breaking pin and anvil. The stated sequence is to fit the selected pin through the spring into the chain press, attach the lever and handle, install the matching anvil, then align the tool with the chain pin and turn the lever. Careful alignment matters when pushing a pin, so avoid treating the longer lever as a reason to force a poorly seated setup.

The kit’s combined breaker-and-rivet approach is more compact than keeping separate tools for each operation. That convenience is useful in a home workshop or when carrying maintenance equipment, but it still depends on choosing the right components for the chain. Store the pins and press parts in their case after use so the small pieces stay together.

Buying questions

Can it remove and rivet chain links? The product is described as a dual-purpose tool for pushing out old chain pins and riveting new chains.

Which chains are listed? The pin sizes are specified for cam chains, #25 to #35 chains, and #428 to #630 chains. Match the size to your chain before use.

Is it only for motorcycles? The description also mentions bicycles, but it does not provide specific bicycle-chain compatibility beyond the listed pin ranges.

Is it worth it?

This set is worth considering if you want one portable tool for chain removal and riveting, and your chain matches one of the stated pin ranges. The included case and multiple anvils and press plates add practical flexibility for those jobs. It may not be the best choice if you cannot identify your chain size or need confirmed compatibility with a chain type that is not listed, in that situation, a chain-specific tool with clearly stated fit would be a safer buying route.
