I've used the hammer and punch method for quite some time. That gets a bit rough when I don't have a good surface to hammer on at the track...
The Hudy tool is nice, but too expensive, and you still have to hammer the pin out.
This looks like a good tool that can be used with minimal effort...I may have to add this to my father's day "wish list".

The tool works but the shaft (B0541D) used to press the worn pin out will break easily. I have broken 2. I use heat and still broke them. The replacement is only $10 so I would recommend having at least 1 on hand. I think the reason it breaks is the pins are worn on one side and when you screw in, the pressing pin doesn't meet up with the drive pin flush. When you screw down, the pressing pin rotates and falls of the edge of the worn pin and causes it to be in a bind and break, or it breaks from putting pressure only on one side of the pressing pin. You just have to be careful or change out your pins before they get too much wear. You can also cut the pins off flush with the drive shaft with a dremel then press it out so that you make good contact with both the pressing pin and worn drive pin.
Hope this makes sense...

soaking the drive shaft in wd40 or heating with a torch does wonders in the replacement process.

I use a hammer, drift punch ,and a 1/2" alum plate with a hole drilled in it a little bigger then the pin ,place the shaft with the pin in the hole and hit with a hammer till its flush with the shaft,then use the drift punch and drive the pin thru ,leave the pin in the hole of the alum as this will be the stop for the new pin, start the new pin with a hammer and drive it in till it stops. takes less then a min to install a new pin !! pins are not very hard, so it will never shatter as someone has said . thats how I doit !! works ever time ..

Tell that to the Chunk of Pin I had Flung into my Hand.......
Most Chain breaker push pins are 2.9mm(well the size we use anyways) but over time they can "Stick" in the shaft.....What I do is Keep my Push pin Polished and Clean. Helps Tremendously.

If pins were that hard they would break instead of wear, they are far less then 62 rockwell hard , IMO ! Nick sometimes you just got to be smarter then the pin !! LOL

Are there any tools other than Mugen, Hudy and Titan? $50-100 is quite a lot if you ask me. I'm even thinking of making one by myself.
