Many modern 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. Park Tool's® MLP-1.2 Master Link Pliers make removal and replacement of these master links quick and effortless. Simply insert the specially-shaped 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® eTap® AXS® and Shimano® XTR® 12-speed
Note: The MLP-1.2 will not remove or install the style of master links with both pins attached to one plate and a side plate or spring clip that clips onto the pins. These are commonly found on older drivetrain systems or single speed bicycles. To remove these types of master links, use a needle nose pliers such as the Park Tool NP-6.
