FAQ

Can this tool be used on chains larger than #100?

No. The design is optimized for #60‑#100 roller chains. Using it on larger pitches may result in insufficient grip and could damage the tool.

Do I need any additional tools to operate the cutter?

All necessary adjustments are built into the cutter. Simply turn the top push pin to tighten or loosen the jaws to match your chain size.

How do I maintain the cutter to ensure optimal performance?

After each use, wipe the cutting surfaces clean of debris, apply a light coat of oil to prevent rust, and store the tool in a dry environment.

Is the cutter compatible with specialty chains used on racing go‑karts?

Yes, as long as the chain pitch falls within the #60‑#100 range, the cutter will securely hold and split the links.

What should I do if the push‑pin becomes difficult to turn?

Apply a small amount of penetrating oil to the pin mechanism and allow it to sit for a few minutes before adjusting again.
