Yep. That looks identical to the Stockton brand that I got at Cycle Gear. That looks like a pretty good deal on Amazon. Also explains why it seems to be perpetually "on sale" at Cycle Gear.

Elipten : My old breaking/staking kit was a much more expensive Motion Pro (that managed to move to another state with my tool borrowing neighbor). As far as I can tell, it's about the same quality as the Stockton kit (and looks identical). For chain breaking, both kits recommend grinding the rivet head on chains larger than #520, due to the possibility of overstressing the breaking tool. I found that I could break a #525 and #530 by doing it slowly and carefully (I don't have a grinder handy).
