>>1057842Hey F A M
so...
I got the harbor freight chain breaker and I'm trying to figure some things out.
I wanted to take off and put back on a chain on a crappy 20" scrap bike
But this tool seems unsuitable for the job for several reasons
-1. the tool punch pin is over sized in relation to the rivet size of the chain , causing it to bind
-2. there is no way to force reverse the tool pin , back it out
-3. the design is flawed for bicycle use lacking chain guide and other common features , making lining up the chain and pin + rivet a total pain
I already bought a real park ct5 bike chain tool
Just thought it would work but the problem seems to be that it's more for motorcycle than bicycles
I want to return this thing , I'm right yes ?
On the package it states the pin punch size as being 1/8'' (3.175mm) or 0.125 inches , but as measured it is 0.154 inch and the rivet/chain pin was 0.145"
Also says to be used on size #420 ,428,520,525, 530 chains
But I don't know what size that chain is , 20" wheel kids six speed rear derailleur only
Also the chain construction lacks the bushing (not roller) as pictured in the wika page on roller chain
