Anybody tried the Farmertec chain breaker and spinner?

Has anyone tried them or heard how well they work? I see them on sale on HLS.

Apparently they haven't figured out how to position the cutters yet

How's it look?

Use a little more oil and less pressure when spinning and the rivet head might not split on you, but not all presets are created equal.

More spinning / cranking as you slowly apply pressure. And more lube, as @Maintenance Chief notes.

Rivet head should not split. Rings on tie straps may indicate going too far.

Ideally, it should be hard to tell your hand spun rivets apart from the factory ones.

Here’s a video with the Oregon spinner, but the idea is the same.
