Hello all, as per the title, are they? found my old chain breaker tool which I had when I had my first chain driven bike. Just can't recall if they're chain specific or what. Thanks

I probably still have the instructions for mine around somewhere - it is only sixty years since I bought it -----!
Probably more important than size is the way the pins are stalked, some seem to have a bit more meat above the side plate and are a squarer shape and take a bit more pressure to shift than others./
