It's also surprising how many cyclists (and I imagine motorcyclists) have no idea what the tool is - let alone how to use it!
What a pile of sh¡t
I bought a new chain and sproket set for the a CBR500R. I did not have a chain splitter / riviter so I bought a Sealey set.
I ground of a pin head, the Sealey tool just bent with out extracting the pin. Grrrr, I had to hacksaw off the old chain!
New sprokets fitted and new chain lubbed up. I went to rivit the pin heads and the rivit head just mushroomed, even the thread started to strip! What
a pile of crap. Fuming I had a look at reviews and loads of people are saying they are poor quality metal.
I got it from demon tweaks so I will give them a call and ask for a refund.
Now I need to wait for a better tool to be delivered before I can ride the bike again.
😣
Been using a Mr Gasket badged version of this one for a few years now
Splitter riveter
Shame - poor quality tools are always more of a disappointment than just the "tool failing". Never been a motorcyclist, but as a keen
cyclist I've been through a variety of bicycle chain tools over the years. Some allure you with a low purchase price and then leave you walking
home when you really need them
