1. Buy the Motion Pro PBR instead/ order extra pins
I would recommend getting the Motion Pro PBR tool instead.
A few design flaws in my opinion:
- Pins break very easily. I understand the small shaft is needed, but there should be a radius between the diameter step to alleviate the stress concentrator. Order extra pins. 'Broke mine on the 4th link I broke. (I grinded heads first as recommended too)
- the holes on the on the press plate are not big enough, or should have a chamfer to guide the pin being pressed through. really really hard to align. I ended up flipping it around until the pins push past flush then flipped it back and went the rest of the way.
-Rivet anvil tool falls out very easily. It happened without even noticing and I ended up pushing my brand new master link pin straight through and had to start over.
Summary:
It does work. The machining is quality; order extra pins and/or go with the PBR version instead.
