Has anyone removed links from this chain with a chain tool? I found my tool too weak to push out the rivets.

I smashed them out with a hammer. Take it to a bike shop, and they should have heavy duty chain tools. The mushroomed pins are impossible to remove with hand tools.

I have, I just used my multitool chain breaker. I had to remove a few links so the chain would be the right length for my fixed gear bike. It's tough at first because the pins are a bit larger at the ends.

I believe I have.It's not super easy to do as it's supposed to be a heavy duty chain but it is possible with the right tools.You'll definitely need to put some force behind it though.

It's best to use a hammer and a flat head screw driver for this chain or a shadow consiracy chain breaker but that's 20$

U need a real chain tool, like the park tools one. They are expensive. A $3 Walmart chain tool will break.

I have the same problem with the chain coming off. When I used it I spent far more time putting the chain back on than I was able to use the machine. Should have taken it back. Not usefull at all.

I had the same problem, you basically have to pry the link apart with two pairs of pliers or vise grips or a vise and then put the bar in and squeeze it back together.

Looks like it may be possible to remove. Ratchet may be used to remove bolts. Haven't done it...don't quote me:) Hope this helps!

I have no idea. If there's a Home Depot or Lowe's near you, though, they'll have a selection of chains. They can help you, or the packages may have a profile of the chain, showing the teeth and the cogs or whatever they're called that engage the drive gear on the saw. Take the old chain with you...Chains also aren't that difficult to sharpen, and you don't need expensive tools.

Hi Sam, I had a similar situation with mine. I noticed it was getting a little loose. I opened the jaws of the pliers all the way and placed the head of the rivet on my vise and used a large centerpunch and "re-peened" the rivet. Since it is a stainless steel rivet it worked very well and hasn't loosened back up since then. You just need to make sure the centerpunch diameter is large enough so it won't just hit the center of the rivet. Hope that helped Kevin

Yes you have to play around a little as i did. I switch out the sprockets on mine. That`s just that my chain is two links short, but it should work well. Remember i used my old sprockets, just clean and grease them.

On the bottom side of the chain cleaner there is a plastic tab/pin that holds the magnet in place. You should be able to pop it off and remove the magnet for cleaning. But be careful not to break the pin - we don't usually recommend doing this - but it is possible.CheersFilzer Tech Support

I use a small file designed for saw chains...I used the same file on my Stehl as my B and D..chain is the same size link..just shorter.

You should rinse the chain with fresh water then dry it off as much as possible then apply your chosen chain lube to each link and wipe off the excess. I use ParkTool CL-1 chain lube

I believe it's the links, we have 72 links. bought this chain a few times and perfect fit. we cut a lot of wood, last a long time.

I have the same issue. I keep the chain oiled well and try to keep the jaws perpendicular to wood being cut, but the darn chain comes off all the time. I hate that.

It has happened, the remedy for me is to twist the blade in the unfinished cut. Sometime I don,t open the blade completely and it will not ratchet for me. This is a tool that does not work properly unless you coax it. I personally would not buy from the maker in the future. Great idea, poor design (my opinion)

I have had the chain come off once since I owned it. It was my fault cutting a limb too big for the saw which it got caught and knocked of track. Also, just remember after use check the tension with the easy to use tool provided. I should also mention the chain did not come off when I cleared a whole front yard with thick limbs and vines and a backyard with large shrubs and tree limbs.

Yes, must be stuck. Try some "Liquid Wrench" or "WD-40." They must have put the rivet in too tight.

I'm assuming that the part that was loose was the main head that holds the shears. I have looked atone and can't see how that would bind up the shears. So contact Pactool on that. The shears themselves I would say back out a 1/4 turn and try that, if that frees up the problem all is good. If your afraid of it coming loose again, remove bolt and put a drop of blue Lock Tite on threads and reinstall. Don't use Red as it sets really hard and takes a heat gun ta remove. The nice thing bout Pactool is the replaceable shears.
