Linedance posted:My experience with alarmed disc locks are they will arbitrarily become alarmed if a passing pigeon gives them a sideways glance. They are not to be trusted, or relied on to be silent when undisturbed and annoying only when agitated. We stripped the guts out of one and taped them to a guy's chair when I worked at a dealership. The alarm worked very well when he sat down.

not really. It started bending already when I was pushing pins out even though I ground off the mushroomed heads of the master link. Then after I inverted the push pin to use the indented part to flare out the master link's pins, the whole frame started warping. I haven't even put enough force on it to mushroom anything yet.

I have one of those and I've never had problems with it. Are you sure you actually ground the flared part off completely? I also wouldn't be surprised if Harbor Freight has no quality control whatsoever, though, and you got one from a bad batch made of melted-down tin cans and old batteries.

Just cut the chain with the angle grinder, what's the point of using the tool to take it apart nicely?

Mine has never got close to bending. Are you pushing the pins out of tank treads or what

It's probably from a bad batch. After this one warped I went and got a Motion Pro set before the store's thanksgiving sale ended and that set worked just fine. Yup, I grounded off the heads completely. Thought the push pin was maybe off-center but nope, it was straight. The push pin itself didn't bend either, it's frame that bent. It's not even a big chain, it's a stupid 520 for a Ninja 250.

I suspect the person with one that didn't bend got a good one. I've replaced my chain four times, and each time I've broken the chain tool. I keep the tool in the package until it's time to replace the chain, then open the package use (and break) the tool, then take the whole thing back to harbor freight and get it swapped with an unbroken one. The new package then goes in the toolbox to wait. I consider them one-time-use disposable tools; harbor freight warranty is worth what I paid.

It really shouldn't be possible to destroy the tool on every use. Like, you're putting the thing under a decent amount of force, but I've got a stockton tool chain breaker I got from Cycle Gear for 35 bucks on special and it's never broken a part/had an issue, across chains of all sizes. If you're bending the tool like that, it seems like you must be using the wrong size driver head, have the tool lined up wrong, aren't grinding the heads off the rivets, or something. Because pushing a pin through a chain doesn't take that much force.

Although, this time I've got a machinist's hammer and a big chunk of tool steel to use as an anvil; I might be able to flatten the rivet the "right" way.

They definitely aren't a riveter though. I only got mine as a sort of sacrificial tool since I don't have an angle grinder to cut a chain off. Much rather break a cheapo harbor freight tool than break one of the heads off my Motion Pro.

You don't really need something as big as an angle grinder. I've cut most of a link with a dremel then snapped the plate by hand before. Really isn't a big deal on that part.

If you're taking the time to grind the heads off the rivets you should be able to just pry the garbage link off with a screwdriver.

Can you drill the rivet head off or would it turn in the link?

How to remove a chain: 1. Drive to a hardware store 2. Buy a $20 angle grinder 3. Cut the chain off in >20 seconds The overthinking ITT is making my head hurt.

Retarded Pimp posted:Can you drill the rivet head off or would it turn in the link? It turns in the link. I found this out when I was cutting my chain with the grinder and my last cutting wheel broke after making it through the first sideplate. Then my dilemma became: walk to the hardware store for another cutting wheel, take my bike with a link half-cut (and all the tools to replace the chain on the side of the road if it fails), or try any of the other tools in the toolbox.
