The leaf chain cutting tool

The leaf chain cutting tool or chain breaker is a hand tool designed to be used by service technicians and maintenance engineers to enable them to make final adjustments to the length of leaf chain.

It is a very useful item when working on site, as it removes the need for using a grinder to remove the leaf chain rivet head.

The heavy duty design is most suitable for ½ to ¾ pitch leaf chains but can also be used for some larger sized leaf chains.

The mechanism pushes the pin straight out and does not require the use of a hammer and punch to make the final disconnection.

All moving parts can be replaced if required, so with some basic care, this robust tool can form part of a technician’s toolkit for many years.
