Chain breaker? Tire lever? Chain quick link tool? Yes. Topeak Power Lever Pro Bike Multi Tool Review
Topeak’s Power Levers have been a popular tool for easily installing or removing chains. With the new Topeak Power Lever Pro, Topeak have extended the levers to not only act as a tire lever and chain plier but also include a chain breaker. It’s an impressive combo tool that puts everything into a compact form factor. Despite the multi-function design, the levers retail for only $ and are compatible with everything up to 13 speed chains. The levers can be combined to compress or stretch chain removable links for replacement or cleaning. Additionally, there is a metal chain hook and storage for a master link built directly into the lever.
Topeak’s Power Lever Pro combines four different functions into a single multi-piece tool that barely takes up more space than traditional tire levers. This can be used as a master link tool to install or remove a chain, as tire levers for tires or as a chain tool. There are three main pieces with the tool: two levers and the chain tool. The plastic levers are hollowed out in the center to store the chain breaker, a metal chain hook and a slot for storing master links. The outer body of the levers has a textured design that provides excellent grip with metal inserts for the plier portion. Dimensionally the tool is 4.9” x 1.2” x 0.7” and should easily fit in jersey pockets or saddlebags. One of the levers is black while the other lever has a navy green coloration to make it easier to differentiate between the levers.
Starting with the tire lever, you can see there are two nearly symmetric levers with curved tips to slide under tires beads. The levers are both the same length and provide plenty of leverage to deal with stubborn tires. While there isn’t a traditional spoke hook you can use the curved plier end to rest against spokes to hold it in place. The other mode of the pliers is the master link plier mode which lets you connect the two levers together using the protruding rod to connect or remove chain master links. It’s a slightly confusing operation as the opening / closing modes require positioning the levers correctly. The black lever should always be on top, while the green lever is positioned to the right or flipped and to the left behind it. This is a simple way to install or remove chains as you can compress or expand master links by applying pressure.
