Chain Tool Replacement Handle

<p>A 3D printable <strong>Bicycle Chain Breaker Tool Replacement Handle</strong> to reuse the surviving parts of a common cast aluminum chain breaker.</p><p>Common “cast” chain breaker tool handles seem to break easily. However, the two bolts which actually break the chain link usually survive.</p><p>Therefore, I decided to try to print a new handle which could use the bolts from the broken part, to see if it would even work. Lo and behold, it does! At least I have been able to use the replacement printed handle a few times since I made it.</p><p>The parts can be easily 3D printed, without any support, on a modern inexpensive 3D Printer. They can be printed with a variety of materials, including PETG, ABS, ASA and many other types of strong and durable printable materials.</p><p>PLA did not work for me because it is too brittle. Also, my bicycle tools are sometime stored or kept in a high temperature environment, exceeding ~55 C (~ 130 F). I live in Florida – Think of a parking lot in mid-summer.</p><p>PETG has worked well so far for this application. It is easy to print, heat resistant and flexible just enough to tolerate minor mistakes with the tool.</p><p>However please be aware that with this tool handle, <i>“<strong>Your mileage may vary!</strong>”</i></p><p><strong>Thank you for viewing this object!</strong></p><p>If you like it, please click on the “like” button.
