Park Tool MLP 1.2 - Master Link Pliers
One of the first time-savers they invented was a stand that held the bike off the ground allowing easy, back saving access to any part of the bike. This original stand was put together using legs from a dining room table, an empty shell casing and a truck axle from a 37 Ford. As other shops, and eventually Schwinn Bicycle Company, saw the stand in action, requests were made for a production model. Park Tool Company was born!
The line grew quickly to include a wheel truing stand, more repair stands including a double arm shop version, wrenches gauges, fixtures and consumer tools soon joined the company's offerings. The retail side of the business also grew earning Top Ten Schwinn dealer status fifteen years in a row including number one overall in 1977. In the early 1980s all three retail shops were sold to concentrate on the tool business.

MLP-1.2 Master Link Pliers make removal and replacement of these masterlinks quick and effortless.
Simply insert the specially sized jaws into the masterlink. Then squeeze the handles top open or pull the handles to close the link.
Compatible with all 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12-speed derailleur chains that use a masterlink.
