    Anyone else routinely breaking chain rivet extractors! I am not sure if it is my technique or the cheap tools i keep buying or a combination of both. My gut feeling is that I am doing something wrong. :mad:

    Most likely cheap tools. What specifically is breaking on it?

    Also remember to use the "outside" position when inserting or removing a pin (i.e. the position furthest from the screw-bit). The other one is for freeing up stuck pins, not for pushing the pin in or out.

    Also try to line up the extractor as accurately as possible with the pin, before you start pushing it. If the extractor is resting even partially against the link plate, you'll just damage it by trying to use force.

    Thanks Seamus, The thin bar that pushes out the pin has snapped on me, I think your right that It wasnt quite lined up right.
