Browning 2736247 Ansi No. 160 Chain Breaker Tool

Product Description

The BROWNING 2736247 is an ANSI No. 160 chain breaker tool designed for driving out pins and separating roller chain links on heavy-duty chain sizes. It handles chain pitches ranging from 1.25 inches to 2 inches, covering the larger end of standard ANSI roller chain used in industrial drive applications. At 8.3 pounds, this is a substantial hand tool built for service work on conveyors, drives, and other machinery that runs No. 160 series chain. It is used by millwrights, industrial maintenance technicians, and mechanical contractors who regularly size or replace roller chain in the field or shop.

This chain breaker is suited for maintenance and repair tasks on industrial roller chain drives where ANSI No. 160 chain is installed. Typical applications include conveyor systems, agricultural equipment drives, and general industrial power transmission assemblies. The tool is used when a chain must be shortened, replaced, or repaired without access to a press or dedicated bench tooling. It covers compatible pitch sizes of 0.25 inches and 2.25 inches per the ANSI specification range associated with this tool series.

Installation Notes

This tool is used by qualified millwrights or industrial maintenance technicians. Always de-energize and lock out the drive system before breaking or installing roller chain — follow OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Position the breaker squarely on the chain pin to avoid damaging the side plates or tool. Do not use the tool on chain sizes outside its rated range, as this can cause tool failure or injury.
