Shimano Tl-cn10 Quick Link Tool Y13022000

A good master link pliers

I already had another vendor's master link pliers for these Shimano quick-link master links. It did a fine job of opening the link when I changed my chain, but with a single scissor action the effort needed to pull the pliers handles apart to seat the master link was greater than I could generate and very awkward ... I had to have a helper stabilize the bike and put pressure on the cranks/chain while I used the pliers to get the quick-link to snap into place. Useless in a field situation.

The Shimano tool has double jaws so that the opening action and the closing action are both in the 'strong' direction of your musculature: you're always squeezing the handles together rather than squeezing to remove and pulling apart to install. This makes it far, far easier to get the job done, and much less awkward with respect to having to handle the bike as well.

They're not perfect, and they're a bit pricey, but the Shimano pliers are the only ones I've seen that do this job the best way.Read full review

Performs exactly as advertised; easy to use

This TL-CN10 chain quick link tool is a must for removing and installing the quick link onto the chain. This is the first time I've used it and it works wonderfully. For the installation it was much easier to have no tension in the chain as the link needs to be squeezed back together. A clever tool.Read full review
