the chain on my blaster needs replacing.i have the new chain,but i was wondering which chain breaker and chain press is the best and easiest to use.i've always owned shaft driven quads so this is my first time replacing a chain.thanks!!

you dont need one. all you need is a flat head screwdriver. first find the master link. then take the screwdriver and pry the clip off. then take out the master link and put the new one on. to put it on just reverse the order(of course)

I have a Tusk chain breaker. Very simple to use and works great. Takes like less than a minute to get the master link off.

it takes ten seconds to take a master link out with a screw driver, you don't have to waste money on a chain breaker.

exactly. and to put it on you just take the screwdriver and hit it with your hand on the other side

His new chain may need to have links taken out and I dont think I've ever seen anyone take those out with a screwdriver?!?...but if you dont then yeah get a flat head and some regular pliers

well obviously you can't take out a link with a screwdriver

i've always used a grinder.

yea you can only the master link out with screwdriver. you need a drill or grinder and grind it all down flat and then take a hammer and hit a screwdriver in between them to pry them apart.
