Poor quality Sealey tool - VS779 mororbike chaun breaker
What a pile of sh¡t
I bought a new chain and sproket set for the a CBR500R. I did not have a chain splitter / riviter so I bought a Sealey set.
I ground of a pin head, the Sealey tool just bent with out extracting the pin. Grrrr, I had to hacksaw off the old chain!
New sprokets fitted and new chain lubbed up. I went to rivit the pin heads and the rivit head just mushroomed, even the thread started to strip! What
a pile of crap. Fuming I had a look at reviews and loads of people are saying they are poor quality metal.
I got it from demon tweaks so I will give them a call and ask for a refund.
Now I need to wait for a better tool to be delivered before I can ride the bike again.
😣
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

Shame - poor quality tools are always more of a disappointment than just the "tool failing". Never been a motorcyclist, but as a keen
cyclist I've been through a variety of bicycle chain tools over the years. Some allure you with a low purchase price and then leave you walking
home when you really need them 
It's also surprising how many cyclists (and I imagine motorcyclists) have no idea what the tool is - let alone how to use it!

This is the same as I had but with a Sealey badge.
I phoned Deamon Tweaks. I have to send the broken one back before I get my refund including postage. They have sent a replacement one our next day
with free postage.
Not too bad customer service. A pain I need to send the broken one back, but that is expected.

I've broken one chain in my entire life (-17C, snow and ice, 4 miles from home wearing shorts and T).
I've built dozens of bikes so have used them all the time, but it's not a general use tool for anyone who gets their bike maintained by
someone else (or doesn't maintain it).
And these days most chains use removable pin plates, quicklinks so you never need one.
