I am a bike mechanic and I purchased this chain breaker because it looked and sounded good. It seemed like a good deal, but it is decieving. After a few weeks, the handle to stabilize it broke off, being completely gel, and not even solid to allow for storing the extra pins (great job, designers!). So, I still used it until my second pin broke and was left jammed inside it. I would recommend looking for a sturdier design meant to last.

As a metal artist I take apart more chain than the average cyclist. This tool has saved my hands and enables me to produce more art for the busy Christmas season. Thank you Pedro's for a fabulous tool!!!

I have seen descriptions of the "2.0" version of this tool and they state that there is a place in the handle to store extra chain pins. This one does NOT have that, so apparently that's why they decided to do a second version.

The tool works wonderfully and I really don't have any complaints about it's design or operation. I like the nice big, long handles and can only imagine how much harder it would be with some budget-priced chain tool. If you believe in using the right tool for the job, you should consider this one.

I was a bit confused by the extra chain pins they include. They seem to be the Shimano type, where you insert them, then break off the extra piece. Trouble is, there are a number of different Shimano chains like this and they all have unique chain pins, so not knowing what I had, I was forced to go to the local bike shop anyway and get the specific Shimano ones I needed. It turns out the ones in the chain tool box were different. So how about labeling these things guys?
