A good chain breaker (sometimes known as a chain splitter or simply a chain tool) is an essential part of any home mechanic\u2019s toolkit<\/a>, enabling you to split old chains, shorten new ones and join those that use a pin rather than a quick-link.<\/p>\n

You may already have a chain tool on your multi-tool<\/a>, but these are often small and lacking in leverage, meaning they\u2019re best kept for emergency use only.<\/p>\n

A proper workshop-quality unit will split or join hundreds or thousands of chains in its lifetime, and the better ones have a replaceable driving pin, so you don\u2019t have to bin it when it inevitably gets bent.<\/p>\n

We tested six chain breakers to find out which tools deserve your hard-earned cash.<\/p>\n
