CM-5.3 - Cyclone Chain Scrubber

Very easy to use and it breaks down so you can clean the Cyclone. Also has a built in magnetic to pull down all the metals from the chain.

Very well made. The body, brushes, and clips all feel really solid. It has a sponge where the chain exits so it doesn't make nearly as much mess as the other ones I've used. I like that you can put the solvent in with it closed. The chain did not beat up the plastic at the entrance and exit. I checked the chain afterward and it came out very clean. It seems to have gotten most of the grit out from between the links. The brushes do not fall out when you take it apart. I resisted buying this one for many years because it was so expensive. All the parts are replaceable. IDK if it's "worth" the money, but it's more than twice as good as the ones that cost half as much.

Very easy to use. Does a good job of cleaning. Do it several times for best cleaning. Made of plastic. Be careful not to drop it.

Doesn’t last very long but it does remove grime

This cleans so well. My chain goes from black to shiny silver in a few minutes. I definitely recommend this for anyone who rides a bike.

I have been using these chain cleaners for 20+ years. I have to buy them on occasion because I drop and break them, lose parts, or move and then can't find 'em. Regardless, these chain cleaners do a fantastic job of getting off all the road grit and whatever sticks to the chain. I know I could probably get my chain cleaner if I took the chain off and soaked it...but...I'm just a guy who likes to ride his bike 20+ miles a day for exercise and fitness. It is my belief that the easier it is to make something happen, the more likely it will happen. In this case, putting my bike on the stand and using this tool to clean the chain is about as easy as it gets and the results are every bit as good as I need. Because it is easy, I do it much more frequently than I would if I had to unlink my chain, soak it, scrub it, reinstall it and relink it. Just not going to do that...and I like a clean chain which reduces the wear. That said, be prepared to spill a little degreaser (or whatever you clean your chain with) and make a bit of a mess...but it is contained in the area just below the run of the chain and you can just put down an old rag to catch the drips. When done, it cleans up nicely itself with just a bit of a rinse in the sink. In all, an excellent product that I will continue to use for years to come.

I've used an older model of this that served me well for about 10yrs, but I live in Arizona and the heat finally did a number on it and it failed. This new model I like the idea of putting on your chain and then add the degreaser which seems like a better idea. I love our recumbent trikes so keeping them in top running condition is important to me. Every tool I've gotten from Park Tool is top shelf and helps me do that. This makes it easy to keep your chain in top shape! I don't remember what I paid for this device 10yrs ago, I'm sure it was less, but Park Tools gives you real value for your money!

Best way to clean a bike chain!

Where has this been all my life, makes cleaning the chain so easy.

Très efficace , solide , le meilleur que j'ai utilisé . De plus , tout est démontable pour le nettoyage y compris les brosses !

A great boon for cleaning bicycle chain, fuss free. I use it with BLOB degreaser and the chain is sparkling clean all the time of the year. A great product and must have for all cycling enthusiasts.

The CM-5.3 Cyclone Chain Scrubber is hands down the best chain cleaning tool I've ever used! As someone who takes bike maintenance seriously, I've tried a variety of products, but none have come close to the efficiency and effectiveness of this one. The design of the CM-5.3 is incredibly user-friendly, making the whole process quick and mess-free. The internal rotating brushes really get into every nook and cranny of the chain, lifting off dirt, grime, and old lubricant with ease. I was amazed at how clean my chain looked after just one use—it was practically sparkling! What really impressed me was how thorough the cleaning was. The Cyclone system ensures that the chain is scrubbed from all angles, which means no more missed spots or half-cleaned links. It's also sturdy and well-built, so I expect it to last a long time, even with regular use. If you care about keeping your bike in top shape, the CM-5.3 is a must-have tool. It makes chain cleaning so much easier and more effective, saving you time and extending the life of your drivetrain. Highly recommended!

Did not get all the grease off of my bike chain, even when I got out the heavy duty chain cleaner. Also was a bit clumsy in it's use, however did the work it needed to do (mostly).
