EDIT - earlyheimers
Lawrence in CO
Comments On Jan 10, 2013:I think it is possible that I overloaded the tool and bent it. If true, that is my bad so I didn't totally trash the rating. Suggest if you buy this, don't get heavy handed or it will fail. Still, I didn't whale on it with vise-grips or cheater bar, so I don't think it should have bent. Just sayin'.
Additional Comments On Jan 10, 2013:I bought 2 chain presses and mixed up which was which. I'm revising my rating of this press to 5 star because it is NOT the one that failed. Earlyheimers kickin' in again. I narrowed the threaded press bolt nose by grinding so I could use this with clip type masterlinks. This really works great for pressing the plate fully on without having to omit O-rings or X-rings. Following that, installation of clip was a snap! (argh; pun intended)

a little mod needed
SHAWN in AB
Comments On Sep 15, 2012:I found that the grooves that allow the chain's side plate to be pressed onto the pins are not quite deep enough. The press tool plates were just pressing or squeezing the chain pins (on each side of the chain and so didn't move once the press was tightened). I will drill 2 small dimples into the press tool plates (get the spacing correct) - to allow the chain pins to move into and allow pressure on to the chain plate/link to press it over the protruding pins enough to put the retaining clip on:) Took me a while to figure out what was happening... but I got it eventually:)

Works like a charm.
David in WA
Comments On Aug 23, 2012:Very easily compressed the master link together on my RK 520 x-ring chain. Would not want to try without it, those links are beastly.

Its OK
Ash in VIC
Comments On Jun 14, 2012:I used this for fitting and EK 520 chain to my bike. The groove that is supposed to sit over the chain pins is way to shallow so you can't fully press the side plat onto the chain to allow for the clip to be slid into place. I ended ip removing one of the plates and just having the bolt press directly on the side plate. This seemed to work well.

Compact and gets the job done
KATHLEEN in MO
Comments On Mar 05, 2011:If you run an o-ring chain you should have this tool. It makes the job of installing the masterlink much less a chore and, with a little practice, setting the right tension/pressure on the o-rings.

horrible
Adrian in AZ
Comments On Jun 28, 2009:did not work on my DID chain metal press plates bent and bolts stretched before it could even press the plate enough to see the master clip groove. had to take the tool apart and use just the plate with the slot and a medium size industrial vise to press the side plate o enough to get the clip on.

Don't put an O-ring chain on without it
David in CA
Comments On Feb 19, 2008:Ever tried to squeeze an o-ring chain together with pliers? Me too, and I'm over the frustration. This tool is cheap and makes installing the master link clip MUCH easier. I love this thing and it's simple to use, well made, and very helpful.

Tool You Wish You Thought Of
ALAN in CO
Comments On Oct 22, 2007:This tool takes all the hassle out of getting a new, o-ring master link on. It compresses the o-rings so the master will slide right on. It's weel worth the few $.
