Re: splitting track
Great catch on a cool and useful tool. I'll keep watching this for updates before I order one. I have used a block of wood with small holes drilled in it. I center the exit side of the pin over one of the holes and use a old pin or similar stiff wire and punch the pin into the cavity. Once the knurl is through the pin usually comes out by hand. Assembly is a small hammer on that same block of wood. I have rarely had a breakage, (mostly HL Sherman tracks) perhaps 5 links in about 12 pairs of tracks.

Re: splitting track
I've contacted the seller and asked for an exchange if he handles it well he'll be opening up a whole new market for himself and his Big Belt Link Tank Track Pin Remover Tool, I'll report back how that goes.

He'll mark them up about 15x cuz they are for rc tanks now after all! Call them Tameeya and go for 20x...

Re: splitting track
Maybe, if we were to tell the seller why we are buying them.
My feedback should the exchange work out would be "Best good watch pin tool!"

Re: splitting track
Yowza! Yowza! Yowza! That's a direct hit on a tool I can use and for which I have begged. I've ordered two already.

Re: splitting track
My track pin remover came today, Instead of the promised two pins it came with four, 2 of each size
Laid a Haya Centurion track across the machine, Lined up a track pin and turned the knurled knob, lo and behold the pin slid out and just as easily it went back in with the same ease.
Worth every penny,
Buy one you won't regret it
