I've done that, except I broke the pin... Mine was part of a multi-tool too.

I broke my 25 year old chain tool a couple of months ago so I bought a new one. Somehow I didn't feel the need to start a thread about it.

sent the seller a messege today, no reply yet. it would be nice if s/he replaced it free of charge. maybe i should bought the pbk multi tool, but i wanted the knife.
any ideas on how to remove my chain and put on the new one? i really don't wan to shell out another 15bucks. was thinking of putting the chain in the tool, clamping it down. then taking the pin head and a hammer and shortta hammer the pin out...i rather not ruin the new chain.

The irony is, only a few bucks more would have purchased a quality tool from Park or CB.
Guess you got what you paid for!

This dinky multi-tool chain tools suck. They're hard to use and are easily broken.
That's a good little tool, I carry one in my saddle bag. If you do that, one word of caution. They can come apart with all the rattling around in the bag.
I used to carry this one, the Park CT-6 folding tool (but I lost it):
It's small and sleek, and it doesn't have any pointy bits to poke holes in your spare tube. So sleek that it's easy to lose.

I broke the dedicated chain breaker that came with my tool kit. It was a cheap nashbar one.
The one that came on my topeak multi tool was better. I'm using that for now till I buy a new one.

You need a nice one to keep at home, and only use the multitool version if you break a chain on the road somewhere. (Which is unlikely if you replace the chain when they wear) Park's website has detailed instructions on how to replace the chain.

If you do a search for "cheap tools" you will find about 10,000 posts from me saying not to buy them.
Consider this 10,001.
