Re: 25 Series Chain

We are wondering what teams use for a chain breaker.
We have tried all the standard ones.... and even modified a bicycle one.
None of them work decently... What is everyone else doing to break #25 chain?
The public wants to know!!???
Bar none, this is it.

Dark Soul Breaker

Team RUSH, frc27, uses this device to break and assemble #25 chain. NO MASTER LINKS EVER!

There is a small pin perfectly designed to break the chain. Once you're ready to re-assembly you use the main breaker mandrel to hold the chain, then use a separate screw device to re-insert the formerly removed roller pin.

Eliminating the master link ensures that the chain won't fail because of an improperly installed clip.
