Harbor Freight breaker/spinner

[morgaj1]

Has anyone used one of these:

Chain Saw Chain Breaker/Spinner

I am considering buying it because it would take up less bench space than the WP or Oregon ones.

I was wondering the same thing.

Spinner Breaker

Might be ok for light use,not sure about daily use tho Looked at one the other day seems fairly solidly built. Need to bolt it don goo to make sure it aint gonna take a walk across the bench

what happens when you need a new head for the spinner or punch for the breaker. oregon or herr probably wont fit.

I ran across a video on youtube a while back but I can't find it now. It seemed to do the job, but so does a hammer and punch. It was a two handed tool because you have to spin the crank while keeping tension with the L shaped handle.

I have one of those. It seems to work ok but would probably have bought a "real" breaker and spinner if I did alot more chains than I do. Kind of wondered about replacement parts after I got it and not sure where to look for them. Would be nice if one of the good brands stuff would fit it. Maybe someone can take some measurements of the Oregon and Baileys ones and compare them.

It"s real funny, If you suspect that a chainsaw "might" have been "assembled" in CHINA you would condem it to everyone that will listen but when it comes to tools to work on your high dollar saw you look at the cheapest tool on the market. Harbor Freight sell the cheapest Chineese JUNK that they can import!
