Chain breakers are used to break chains in a variety of applications, including:

  1. Bicycle maintenance: Chain breakers are used to break bicycle chains when they need to be replaced or repaired.
  2. Industrial applications: Chain breakers are used in industrial applications, such as in manufacturing and construction, to break chains that are used to lift or move heavy objects.
  3. Marine applications: Chain breakers are used in marine applications, such as in shipbuilding and repair, to break chains that are used to lift or move heavy objects.
  4. Automotive applications: Chain breakers are used in automotive applications, such as in the repair of heavy-duty trucks and equipment, to break chains that are used to lift or move heavy objects.

When choosing a chain breaker, it is important to consider the type of chain you need to break, the size of the chain, and the type of tool you need to use. It is also important to follow proper safety precautions when using a chain breaker, as it can be a dangerous tool if not used properly.
