I am needing to buy a decent for the money chain breaker. I do maintenance in a factory, ride a three wheel bike every shift, which needs chain work sometimes. I also have to often repair a piece of machinery that uses a 6B size chain (pins are around .125") that is not easy to remove and I need a chain breaker that I can use with limited space. I have been using a pin punch and a socket, but I need an easier way. Any recommendations on a good tool out there? Thanks.

Park tool as was suggested. the one DSgrouse showed is a bit lightweight but usable for casual stuff, I prefer the better one http://www.parktool.com/produc...peening-anvil-ct-4-3 There are a bunch of similar models so you have to match it to your chain (I didn't research that for you), the above is just an example.

I've been working on my bikes for over 30 years and I think that tool quality may result in a better chain install. The full size Park tool has a good reputation and is reasonably priced. The 3.2 or the 4.3.

+1 Another vote for the full size Park chain tool.
