It'a all in the technique. You can't force it. If the pin sticks, switch to the other side and it'll break out the pin EVERY time.

i did it right, it was a brand new walmart chain which snapped after one block, it snapped straight down the link. im just saying it's worth it to buy a nicer one, and that one's made for half links which hes trying to break

I bought the cheap $5 one because i was broke and it worked for me. When i'm first getting the pin started though i hold the end of the breaker on the ground because it takes some stress off that end piece thats known to break easily. If you have the money though id get the nice park tool one.

this is off subject but is that you in your profile pic?
btw the animal chain breaker that comes with the too kit looks legit, haven't got to use it yet so idk how good it really works, shadow chain breakers use to be good up until last year then they had to of starded making them cheap cause a but of people in my area were breaking them
The chain breaker that comes with the Animal Kotulak works on Shadow chains, and it's dinky. I'm honestly blown away at how well it works. At the shop we just have some cheap Park Tools one, and I used it to break a Shadow chain this weekend. If you use the right technique, any 1/8" chain breaker will work.

not when the pin bends on the chain breaker

If you're using the chain breaker properly and not forcing the pin into the pin on the chain, you won't bend the pin. I've broken at least five Shadow chains with Wal-Mart chain breakers over the years.

Yeah, lol. They're a pretty big waste of money. The only times I've use one is when some kid breaks their chain at the park and that's the only chain breaker around.
I think chains just need to be designed better that's my overall opinion because this shit wouldn't even been an issue if that was fixed

the vein breaker does work well and will last longer than those cheapo walmart breakers but if you don't know how to use a chain-breaker correctly its still possible to break it, this goes for any chain-breaker.
trails are not skateparks, they exist solely from the work and dedication of local riders. so next time you start complaining about not having local trails to ride, you only need look at yourself.
Bike check?
I bought the shadow after breaking the cult breaker. Brokenbmx recommended it, and it works great, even on the peened pin 710 I have now.

Yeah, been like that out here. Had a couple good dumps and the rest are here today, gone tomorrow. Snowed twice last week. Melted before noon both days. What about a hammer, nail, and the crack on a sidewalk?
