    They're on eBay of course, but after spending a lot of time massaging one to make it fit my 520 chain, it ended up not working. They sell them as a "520 half link" on eBay, but they're labeled as being for #50 chain on their packaging. After spending way too much time on one the other day trying to make it fit, I went to the hardware store looking for something else and I happened to see that they sold the very same links at the hardware store that I had gotten from eBay. The hardware store sells them as #50, not 520, which are two different chain sizes. The eBay sellers selling these links as 520 are WRONG because the #50 links WILL NOT WORK on a 520 chain.

    I ended up having to buy a true 520 half link from Europe, and it's the only true 520 half link I've ever seen, assuming it is correct once it arrives. It looks good in the listing though.

    It does look good!

    I wonder if there is an industry standard for the diameter of the inner pins? I think Regina and D.I.D. Are the same, but I haven’t mixed any others.

    Good luck and let us know how it works, I might pick one up if you’re happy with it.

    That's what my chain breaker kit looked like the very first time I used it too. No instructions to say that you can't press 520 riveted pins out without breaking the breaker's accessories. Have to grind the heads down on bigger chains.

    Not sure what happened in your pic

    That's the same one I broke. That thin long pin there was hardened a little too much and I snapped that part

    Now I see, I know they make different sizes and grades. Crazy, I have broke a lot of chain with mine.

    Its probable you have a better quality unit than I had. There's so many cheap knockoffs out there these days and I recall paying about $25 for it so it may be a knockoff of the better brand tool
