I have the motion pro chain kit 08-0058 ( http://www.motionpro.com/motorcycle/tools/chain_breaker_and_riveting_tool/ )and basically, it’s cheap quality. Is this kit any better http://www.motionpro.com/motorcycle/tools/jumbo_chain_tool/ or do you know of another kit that is better quality for riveting chains?
I’ve had the 3.8mm tip break on me when used properly, and just last night my large anvil busted when i was riveting my 530 chain.
motion pro 08-0058 $95.00 is cheap quality. The anvils are not a solid one piece. It’s 2 pieces machined to fit precisely and painted over to hide such fact. I barely even started flairing out the rivet pin when the anvil gave way and broke. It’s a miracle I figured out a way to get the pin to flush up against the side plate. I’ve already notified Motionpro and the vendor I purchased the kit from. All blame on Motionpro.
