The problem is not the chain tools fault but the user. Chain breaker tool is VERY poor name, unfortunately. They should be called chain joiner tools, because they are only designed to work on the SOFT RIVET JOINING LINK, and NOT any random link on the chain. Everyone I've ever spoken to about bending pins has just used the tool to try to force out a factory fitted hardened pin in the chain, that being all of them apart from the soft rivet joining link !

Its not hard to spin a wheel to find the soft link.

Have fun.
