Overview

Box channel-shaped tool with two strips of metal jutting inwards from the sides. A fat screw ending in a small point in turned by a loose metal pin at the top.

Historical information

The bicycle chain is passed through the tool, over the two metal blades at the sides, and the screw is turned so that the point dislodges the chain link, thereby breaking the bicycle chain. Item probably used by Charles Malmberg, a keen cyclist.
