What Do Chain Link Pliers Do on the MLP-1.2?

The Park Tool MLP-1.2 Chain Link Pliers are designed specifically for connecting and removing quick links on bicycle chains. The offset jaw geometry grips the outer plates of a quick link and pushes them toward each other to seat the connection, or spreads them apart for removal, without requiring you to wrestle the chain into a wall or improvise with your fingers. Built for use on road, gravel, and mountain bike chains, the MLP-1.2 makes quick link installation and removal fast and repeatable.

Quick links are now standard on most quality chains, and having the right tool to work with them matters. The MLP-1.2 gives you a controlled, clean connection every time and removes the guesswork from whether your quick link is fully seated before you start riding.
