Park Tool MLP-1.2 Master Link Bike Chain Pliers

Description

Many modern derailleur chains use a “master link" (also known as a "quick link" or "power link") that allows the chain to be installed and removed without driving out a rivet. MLP-1.2 Master Link Pliers make removal and replacement of these master links quick and effortless. Simply insert the specially sized jaws into the master link. Then squeeze the handles to open or pull the handles to close the link. Compatible with 5-to-12-speed derailleur chains that use a master link, including SRAM AXS and Shimano XTR 12-speed. Also compatible with Campagnolo 13-speed chain.

FEATURES

• Blue, vinyl coated handle offers comfort and grip
• Compatible with 5–12-speed chains that use a master link
• Also compatible with Campagnolo 13-speed chain
• Does not work on traditional 2 and 3-piece master links commonly found on single speed or 3-speed bicycles that use a single rear sprocket

NOTE: The MLP-1.2 does not work on traditional 2 and 3-piece master links (shown in the images) commonly found on single speed or 3-speed bicycles that use a single rear sprocket. These style of master links have the two pins attached on one side plate and use a side plate that clips on or a side plate and a spring clip to hold the opposite plate on. To remove this type of master link, use a needle nose pliers to slide the spring clip off, remove the outer plate and then remove the side with the two pins or remove the single side plate.
