| | Re: chain breaker from Harbor Freight. just an update on this chain breaker. mine came with two different size pins. one big one, one smaller one. the smaller one works on bicycle chains.
BUT, i was at harbor freight the other day, and saw these again, and they still had two pins, but they were both the large size. dunno if it's just cheap china quality control, but all the ones they had were like that.
you'll have to grind the pin down a little to make it work.
it's still a great breaker, it weighs about 2 pounds, you just gotta modify it... |

| | Re: chain breaker from Harbor Freight. like i said before, my breaker came with two different sized pins, but i put a new chain on a bike today, and the smaller one got stuck and i had to pound it out. i grinded the end down a little and it works perfect.
the larger pin fits perfect on the 415 chain my grubee kit came with.
here's a comparison between a cheap, broken 5.99 piece of crap, and the HF.
the pin's in the 415 chain to show how it fits... |

| | Re: chain breaker from Harbor Freight. Thanks for the tip on the HF chain breaker I was in Amarillo today and went to HF picked up the chain breaker was $12.99. when I got home I had to try it out works like a champ so now I'll take that POS Walmart chain breaker made out of zinc or lead filled aluminum back to Wally world.
I got 2 pins they both are the same size,the extra pin is a spare in case you damage one you will have an extra.
The pin in the breaker works fine on the motorized bike chain when I tried it, very nice tool.
It tells the size of the pin on the box and the chain sizes the breaker fits. I did put some never seize on the threads so it will work very smoothly. I like it!
