Park Tool Master Link Pliers for Cyclists MLP-1.2

Park Tool MLP-1.2 Bicycle Chain Master Link Pliers

Since its inception in 1963, Park Tool has been dedicated to designing and manufacturing high-quality tools that empower mechanics and riders of all skill levels to service their bicycles. As with over 500 other tools in their repertoire, the Park Tool MLP-1.2 Bicycle Chain Master Link Pliers are a product of the company's decades of experience and expertise in the cycling industry, both in the shop and on the trail.

Many modern derailleur-equipped bicycles utilize a "master link" (also known as a "quick link" or "power link") that allows the chain to be installed and removed without the need for driving out a rivet. The MLP-1.2 Master Link Pliers make the process of removing and replacing these master links quick and effortless. Simply insert the specially sized jaws into the master link, then squeeze the handles to open the link or pull the handles to close it.

The MLP-1.2 Pliers are compatible with 5-speed to 12-speed derailleur chains that employ a master link, including SRAM AXS and Shimano XTR 12-speed systems. It's important to note that the MLP-1.2 will not remove or install the style of master links that have both pins attached to one plate, with a side plate or spring clip clipping onto the pins. These types of master links are commonly found on older drivetrain systems or single-speed bicycles. To remove those, you'll need to use a tool like the Park Tool NP-6 Needlenose Pliers.

Over time, dirt and corrosion can make it very difficult to separate master links by hand, even though they don't require a traditional chain tool. The MLP-1.2 Pliers solve this problem, providing a reliable and effortless solution for working with master links.

Whether you're a professional mechanic or a passionate DIY enthusiast, the Park Tool MLP-1.2 Bicycle Chain Master Link Pliers are a trusted tool that will empower you to maintain and service your bicycle with confidence. Backed by Park Tool's reputation for quality and reliability since 1963, these pliers are an essential addition to any cyclist's toolbox.
