Chain removal tool, 5 seconds later and it's in the bin.....



....you are cutting it off, not disassembling it.

Who makes your tool Charlie?

I didn't mention a brand because these tools tend to get rebranded all over the place and at wildly differing prices.
My case is labeled: IGNITION - HD CHAIN CUTTER & RIVETING TOOL - Part # 990008
Retailed at Royal Distributing which is a Canadian motorcycle/ATV chain of outlets. No printed instructions included.

I did tonight find a few online references to it.

also  as "Yescom" on Amazon and Walmart but unavailable/out of stock at those two.

Ribbert, that's about what I thought Randy might do.  I'll see later this week.

Charlie, there are always different brands and retailers between the lower 48 and the Great White North. Lol  I mean heck, back in the sixties Pontiacs were rebranded as Chevys.
Thanks for the ebay link.  Beefy looking tool.

+1 on the DID tool. Top quality and makes it impossible to over-tighten the pins.

I saw the DID tool in action when Robert installed my chain.  I'm convinced.

As demonstrated on Joe's bike Friday.
