![]() Avenir Chain Tool By: Avenir Average Rating: 2.5 Total Reviews: 10 More Information Cheap, but gets the job done This is not a great chain tool, but it works. Ive used it a few times now and the pin is starting to fall out. Light use is OK, but get something better for serious bike mechanic work. Barely works I used it on a standard one speed chain. Removing the chain pin was workable, but there were not enough threads to press the pin back in once I reassembled the chain. I needed to use another tool to push the pin in somewhat, and then I could finish pressing it in with the chain tool. The worst chain tool I have used. Not recommended. So bad that it is almost comical This thing literally disintegrated during its first use. 1. The chain holder ridge broke off like it was made of plastic rather than metal. 2. The rubber caps on the T-bar came off causing the T-bar to continually fall out - usually during the most critical time. 3. The pin fell out after one use due to a poorly fitting bushing. This meant I could only use the tool with the pin pointing up. 4. The knurled handle seems to unscrew on its own no matter how much I tightened it. Amazingly I was able to install my bike chain - although I needed an extra pair of hands to keep the components together while turning the crank. Take my advice - dont buy it. Junk, Pure and Simple Cheap, cheap, cheap. Came apart on me every time I used it. they dont make these things like they used to, except for them looking identical. Dont buy this if youre looking for a reliable, durable tool. Junk. GOOD FOR REMOVAL TOOL WORKED OK FOR REMOVING CHAIN. HAD A HARD TIME KEEPING IT LINED UP TO REINSTALL CHAIN PIN. WORKS FINE FOR ME ONCE I GOT USED TO IT. THIS IS COMING FROM A VERY NOVICE BIKER!! Does the job and it's cheap Needed a chain tool just to put on one chain and found my old tool rusted and seized. So needing a new one, I wasnt looking forward to paying a lot of money on something that is so rarely utilized. This chaintool for 6 bucks was cost effective and works perfectly. Seems to be built a lot better than the old tool I had. Great Chain Tool! This is the best chain tool ive ever gotten, the metal is pretty decent,not too cheap not too good, but very useful i got a broken bike chain and it worked perfectly nothing broke or anything and the packaging is very high classed. For this price i would totally recommend this product to people who broke their chain and more.I love this product! Terrible The handle unscrews as you turn the crank. The metal is cheap. The link holders broke off during normal use- in the first week of using it. The pin fell off too. It was actually funny to see a product fall apart all at once. Well... it would have been if I hadnt paid for it. |
