ABSTRACT:
A hand-held tool is provided for use in mounting a de-railed chain onto a multi-toothed chain sprocket. The tool includes a two-part clamping member with an attached handle. When the two sections are brought together, grooves on the inner surfaces mate to form a series of bores that are sized to receive the teeth of the chain sprocket therethrough. In use, the tool is placed onto the chain sprocket with the sprocket teeth extending through the bores and the de-railed chain resting on the handle. The tool is tilted upward to slide the chain onto the clamping member and the extended teeth of the sprocket. The fastener(s) holding the two sections of the clamping member together is then disengaged and the tool is removed from the sprocket, with the chain re-mounted on the chain sprocket.
