Tusk Chain Breaker

[PUSH THE THROTTLE]

I purchased a Tusk Chain Breaker from http://rockymountainatv.com/ last fall and finally used it a couple weeks ago and it's an excellent tool that I consider a necessity for the price. I got it on sale for around $5 on one of my orders. I used to use a grinder to break the chain and this breaker can do it easily and cleanly in a matter of seconds. I was having so much fun using it that one of my old chains that I had laying around has now pretty much been completely taken apart. The new chain I am using is the DID 520VM gold x-ring, my last chain was the DID ATV x-ring. I went with the VM because Bobscycle had it cheaper than the ATV chain plus it has a higher tensile rating than the ATV version. I had no problems breaking that brand new chain with the Tusk tool. I recommend that anybody replacing chain get this tool and buy a slightly longer chain and an extra master link in case you decide to change sprockets in the future you can run 2 master links to get the desired length of chain and this breaker makes it so easy.

I have the motion pro. I think. A must have tool!

I just can't see paying money for a chain break. I've always had great results with a file, a punch and a hammer.

Sounds like $5-10 would save you alot of work.

i already have a chain breaker so i didn't buy a tusk one, but last summer i did buy their chain press tool. i've been pretty happy with it too. 10x easier to compress o/x rings to get the clip on the link. it's a hell of a lot better than using a mini c-clamp or squeezing the shit out of a pair of channel locks.

I would have to agree. I purchased one from rmatv and it works great. A must have tool for any toolbox.
