You'll read reviews of people bending the pin etc, easily done because there are no instructions. 1) If you can grind top of rivet off do it, if you can't I think it will still work as it is robust. 2) line up rivet and set pin to centre of rivet to be removed try to get outer large threads as low as possible, so you can just see the pin. 3) commence turning, you don't need a Tommy bar just a long ring spanner, Tommy bar would bend! 4) once pin has moved remove from tool and then remove the bottom sleeve from tool, this is the small screw that link sits on to line up, if you don't remove this rivet can't be pushed out and you'll bend the pin in the tool. The manufacturer should give clear instructions and they would get 5* feedback as it's a good robust tool for more than one use! Read full review

Past experience of a different product didn't give me high expectations. The commonly seen splitter/riveter at a similar price is pure rubbish. This tool is chunkier in construction and appears to have stronger threads. Carefully line up the pins (I had to remove the anvil) and the tools pushes them out with relative ease. Remember that you're advised to grind the top of the rivet pins before using the tool.

Great peace of kit does the job. Saved me buying a chain and waiting. Chain came off because it was stretched so took link out and job the done. FAB

After the second time of use the fine thread stripped itself. Not a tough chain to break small 428. You get what you pay for !

I am restoring an old Bultaco and needed a chain splitter. This looked good value and after reading most of the reviews, I decided to go for it. Delivery was quick and it did the job easily, just take a bit of care lining up the pin and wind it through. Simples!
