BIKEHAND Bike Bicycle Chain Master Link Pliers Tool - MTB Road Quick Link Remover Removal - Compatible with All Brands: Shimano Sram KMC Chain - Standard or Compact

Not a great deal to say. they are chain pliers. You could probably do the job without them but pinching and slipping hurting my hands when working with bike chains i invested in these. A great tool for the price allowing you to easily break and attach quick link style chain connectors. If your chain is a bit old and gunked up these are definitely helpful in getting the old link off. I cant really see what more expensive tools could do that these don't.

It took me ages trying to get a SRAM PowerLink open using ordinary needle-nose pliers as the combination of lubricant and straight jaws meant any pressure on the pins just pushed the link out of the jaws, but perseverance finally paid off.Not wanting to go through that again, I bought these, as the curved jaws prevent the link from sliding away and curved recesses on the outside allow you to close the link again by pulling the handles apart, removing the necessity of stamping on the pedals to fasten the chain. Tried and tested on 9 speed SRAM PowerLinks, and 9 and 10 speed KMC MissingLinks.Incidentally, it has comfortable sprung non-slip rubber handles and weighs 135g.

Sturdy piece of kit and has worked faultlessly on the KMC/SRAM chains on both my mountain bike and road bike. You would be insane to buy a separate set of pliers for opening and closing the links, get this instead.

Solidly made, good quality item.

Before purchasing this I noticed the same type of product by different manufacturers for twice and sometimes three times the price of this one. Why bother? This Bikehand version does the job just as well.

Really nice tool, good quality and works perfectly, took moments to remove split link and moments to fasten again. Wish I had bought one years back.

a good pair of pliers that work well.Make the fiddly chain links easy to operate.

The product is fine and it arrived very quickly. but please note it cannot be used to close links. Despite the description implying otherwise it can only be used to *install* the links, it cannot be used to remove them.
