Given for a gift

We bought this for our daughter-in-law for her her birthday. She said it is working well.

Works great

I have several bikes with varied group sets. With the included adapters I can easily remove the rear wheels to clean on all of them. The chainlift takes a little practice to use, but it’s not hard

Great purchase!

Everyone should have one.

A Useful Addition to My Toolbox

I'm glad Fernando developed this tool. The CHAINLIFT is a great idea, and a fine example of creative engineering. In just a short time, I've used it repeatedly, and found it useful in a number of ways. In fact, I used my CHAINLIFT this morning. After purchasing a CHAINLIFT and trying it out, I purchased a second tool to keep in my car. Also, importantly, Fernando is helpful and accessible. The first-time user will want to carefully follow the included instructions, or watch the website's video. However the CHAINLIFT is not difficult to use, and after using it a few times, set-up is quick, easy, and natural. Actually, the CHAINLIFT tool is fun to use and is such a clever device, I find myself smiling each time I use it. I did find that there were a couple of places on the tool that needed a very light bit of silicone lubricant to allow free movement. The reason I didn't give the CHAINLIFT five stars, is that five stars means perfect, and, of course, nothing in this universe is perfect..

The GREATEST tool invented in the last 20 years

I’m a mechanic & fellow cyclist & I have got to say the CHAIN-LIFT is hands down the latest & greatest tool to come along in a long time. I’ve been using this tool nearly every day In my shop since It arrived & I have got to say it’s my new best friend in the shop. I have shown & demonstrated the CHAIN-LIFT to over 2-dozen clients & friends in as many weeks & all were as Impressed as my self with it’s versatility & how easy it is to use. One such client here in town ordered his immediately he was so impressed with the CHAIN-LIFT & IT’S EASE OF USE.
My nephew as well was duly Impressed with the CHAIN-LIFT after use he swiftly appropriated the one I had with me. Thank goodness I had the hind sight to buy a couple of them for just such occasions. Thank you Fernando for Inventing one of the greatest tool around, well worth its weight in CHAINS. Tough Durable & Easy to use . Thanks from Doc Sprocket CA
