    Need a hand!!

    Anyone out there near my area got a press tool I could get up with you and use?? I have a new chain/sprockets coming this week and I really don't want to pay close to $100 for a tool that I'm going to probably use only once. Any help would be mucho appreciated!!

    I paid $60 for my cutter/riveter on ebay. It was my first chain to do and it worked great. I figured I would go ahead and get one because I plan on doing many more.
    It's not considered cheating if it's a motorcycle, right???

        Check harbor freight or jc whitney maybe cheaper than 60 bucks and good enough for one time use i think.

                I dremel off the old chain and put a temp link in for my 2 mile trip to a shop. But at the price in your link, I'd go with that.

                  That is a chain breaker, but it doesn't say anything about being a riveter. Not sure what type of chain (rivet or clip) but if that tool only breaks chains, then you are still going to have to buy another tool to finish the job. Well, at least I did because I had never done one before and I didn't want to screw up. Some say you can rivet with a hammer and after doing one with a tool made for riveting, a hammer seems like it would be extremely diffficult. Just trying to help, because like you, I wanted to have everything there when the chain arrived so I could get it fixed and start riding ASAP. Maybe someone else with more experience could ellaborate here.

                    EASIEST WAY BY FAR to break a chain is with a Dremel. Spend the money. Because you'll use the Dremel for TONS of things as well.

                    To press / rivet search Ebay...there is a knock off of the $110 RK took that sells for $40. I used it and it works great.

                    Search for a post by me, and you'll see pics and everything.
