Vintage Renold Chain Splitting Tool
In 1880 Hans Renold designed and patented the bush roller chain which helped make the "safety bicycle" a complete success. Hans Renold was in fact one of the fathers of the Cycle Industry. Due to Hans Renold's invention the future of the bicycle was assured. To demonstrate its success and contribution to Industry, after more than 125 years the chain, as patented in 1880, still forms the basic concept of transmission chains used today throughout the world.
The tool on sale today cannot be traced to an exact period but it is very likely that it is one of the first chain splitting tools associated with Renolds and was manufactured in Manchester (see pic) where Hans Renold first set up his chain making factory in the 1880's
