Anybody try this chain spinner

[shaley]

I have lots of spare chain and chains of the wrong length. Thought I'd try making some the correct length. Anyone try this Harbor Freight unit
Chain Saw Chain Breaker/Spinner

The 2 piece Baileys deal is on sale for about $99-$109. I never got to look at the HF one in person and didnt want to take the chance mail order.

No complaints here on the Baileys one.

i'd be checking into parts availability. i have used a lot of number 9 in the IPL in the owners manual which says there are parts you can't get.

i'd go with an OREGON CHAIN BREAKER AND SPINNER so you can get part you need.

i've been spinning my rivets with an electric drill now for better than 30 years.

Can you spin rivets on a drill press?

maybe,but it would be tricky,costly
