chain tool

[Dick Linn]

I don't work with #25, but on #35, I just grind off the end of the pins on a bench grinder and gently tap out the link being removed. I grind out part of the sideplate, so it comes out quite easily. It takes very little time, though it cah get a bit hot to hold onto

Here's a breaker made in U.S.A. http://www.pattontool.com/25thru60.htm

We also use the "Easy-Grip Roller Chain Breaker" and have had no problems with it. It takes less than 30 seconds to break a chain: Punch one side, punch the other and then twist the chain - Done

I have used the easy grip chain breaker for a good 6 years and NEVER had a problem. I have used it on 25 and 35

If you're looking for something like a chain puller, here's what we did: We bought a chain puller made for 35 chain, then took a dremel to the tips in order for it to fit between links of 25 chain. It's been working great for us for years.

As for breakers, we're using one made for 35 chain and bigger... and have never broken a link.

So does nobody actually make chain pullers for #25? I've been trying to hunt one down.

Have you checked Grainger?
