the park chain breaker you were looking at is a good one and i believe park has a lifetime warranty like craftsman. for the top use the one you took off use the 2 pieces. on the bottom of this picture and use your tool to press the pin. nothing needs to be rounded off. they fit tight. alot better then a master link and stronger. to me the master link is the weakest link so i do away with them. i can acutually do it this way faster then with a master link also. the cheap kmart schwinn breakers etc are the ones that bend and break.

Got it. Great pics of the tool. This picture says it all: 
I did not realize there are more than one slot(s) in the tool. Makes total sense now. When I did mine rude and crude - ON THE BIKE - without a tool (it can be done, but it's difficult) I used a little anvil in back, and a flat punch to round the head over a bit.
Yep - I'm buying that Park tool. |

key to it is only press enough for pin to drop thru cap it will give and fell a click when you are free then do the other pin and remove the cap and slide out the other part. when you get the tool practice a few times with some of your extra links you have. once you get the hang of it you can replace or ad links in a second.

The ONLY problem with the Parker tool?
It will not work with #41 chain.....bummer....
I have an idea though. If I file/grind the pin head and then try the little tool it just might work. |

why dont you guys just use the real chain breakers?
I mean they are dirt cheap and work better than the bicycle ones.
a good one is like $10. a cheap one is like $5.  |

Where do I get one? I bought a Park ct-5 and I don't know if it's going to last any longer than my P.O.S. Bell breaker I got from W-Mart.
