+Aurélien Carnoy Sort of but you can make a mess of it as the rivets are so small. Much better as said below - get the right tools or take to your garden repair shop.
just grind broken links off using angle grinder, put new ones on using a ball pein hammer. just hit the centre of the preset to mushroom it over, and done.
Depends on your situation. If you have multiple length bars you can just keep a roll of chain and make whatever length you need. Also great for odd length bars.
How do you get the rivet head to flatten out? Is there a special rivet tool that holds the rivet central when you spin a new one in? The rivet head is not flat on the new rivet installed but is rounded, not like the original. The one i got from Harbor Freight was real sloppy in the spinner shaft and real sloppy in the threaded thrust hole. I found the spinner head in this tool to waver off the rivet head on turning it even though i held the thrust handle centered tight to the rivet head. I feel there should be a new type spinner rivet socket that has a small center hole to align it correctly before starting the spin and as it spins in the hole keeps the rivet straight and the socket should have a flat center with beveled solid rounds with angle ridges around the bevel to roll the sides of the rivet head down accurately, but of course i am not the one that designs them but if i did it would be this way.
+John Doe If the rivet tool is worn then this can cause it to slip. A new anvil does have a small center to align it and this anvil should be replaced as and when.
I think i got it now but what was happening was when i did the turn it would rotate off center and i found the alignment was off horizontally. I bent the tool and it screwed straight.

Well done sir,
Thanks for a very well executed tutorial. Easy to understand and follow with good photography.
You are a scholar and a gentleman. Thank you for sharing this information, and what a great video.
i always wondered what was used for this thanks for posting
Nice video, thanks for posting.
one of the best video I've seen so far in my quest. I was wondering,can i break and mend a chainsaw chain manually (i have no specialized tools) ty
+Aurélien Carnoy its a bit of a fiddle with the right tools unless you are doing a chain a fortnight i would just get your shop to sort it.

Is it worth making your own chain?

Wheere do you buy the chain role. All sites [ebay/aliba ] expensive
Just got one off eBay, now I know how to use it!
Thank you, learned a lot
I rate this completely Pensioner proof,, easy to understand Just what Doctor Rob ordered , only need the kit now, xmas coming,,, ""the old Buffer""
Excellent. Thank you for posting
I have a new punch (#26870) and it seems too long as I can't place the rivet under the Oregon breaker
Not sure the punches we well work fine. Rob
Thanks for the vid.
Good stuff 👌
Very nice video, cheers thanks for sharing
great post and instructional video! products made from my home state Oregon!
The bar says made in Oregon , its at least cool to see that even if it is made in Italy. Just saying .
Maybe Oregon, Italy? Kidding...
Excellent explanation. Thank you.
Great video. Thanks.
Think we have all made a tight one and just set it up the bar abit and let the saw loosen it up lol
