I just did this with a rock I found, and a larger rock on the ground. Hammered it back into place like a BlackSmith, saved me on the trail..... McQuiver Style. Need to order one of these chain tools ASAP!

I was on a ride today and he broke a chain going up a hill. Luckily the small group of 5 of us, 1 guy had a bar end chain tool. We were able to take out a link and him get home. We reused the existing pin though. To answer your question, YES you need to buy a new chain, but this will get you home when you are 30 miles from your car. Just stay out of the big/big cogs cause the chain has been shortened and you should be fine to get home. Then buy a new chain. Made me think about having one.
Great video i have pretty much done this but with a watch looks easy should you replace the whole chain after this or should you just add a link when you get home
This would be so much more useful if the allen keys were 4+5mm. Also, how do you use the 6mm key? Is it just the one on the opposite end of the shaft to the 5mm? How do you use that and get leverage?
Help! I got a used mongoose 26'' and rode it fine for few days....now the back ''wheely thingy'' where the chain spins lol snapped off & it's just swimming on the part it s attached to.... and the chain came off. Sorry I don't know the right names. any suggestions on what I need to do?
We lost a link of the chain? It will be slightly shorter. I imagine this could affects suspension bikes more? Are we going to want to replace the chain as a whole when we get back home? Thanks!

Thank you...this was very informative. now I know that their is a special tool that dose most off the work involved.
thank you for this video. I'm gonna order this tool but had no idea how it worked because I was only familiar with the park tool.
I'm 12 and I just fixed my bike chain WITHOUT any special tools, just a hammer and some nails😁😁😁😁

Awesome :)
I have that multitool, Alien 3, and it sucks, both screwdrivers (Phillips head and torx head) are stripped after few times I used it
Fantastic!
But what do you do if you don't have the tool and you can't buy it?
What is the thing to fix the chain and where can you buy it! PLEASE REPLY!!!!!!!!!

It’s better to replace a new one after you get back.
you think it might be usefull to tell us the name of this tool, so we can search it and buy one ourselves, helo!!
