This chain cleaner incorporates several innovative features that deliver a new level of performance for on-the-bike chain cleaners

  • An extra-large solvent reservoir, series of rotating brushes and a 2-step cleaning process gets chains really clean
  • Step-one scrubs the chain with solvent, while step-two uses a mix of water and solvent to flush grit away
  • Strong magnet draws particles scrubbed from the chain to the bottom of the fluid reservoir, keeping them from being redistributed
  • Durable, open-cell sponge draws fluid from the chain as it exits the cleaner, reducing the drips and mess common with other chain cleaners
  • Made from durable nylon with replaceable brushes and sponge material
  • Works with all multi-speed bikes and some 3-speed and single-speed models

Made in USA.

      Comments about Park Chainmate Chain Scrubber:

      I'm very happy I bought this. It cleans chains very well. The manufacturer says to run four cycles per cleaning, but I find that 1 or 2 is fine. You can also use dishwashing detergent mixed with water if you run out of ChainBrite and need to clean your chain in a pinch.

      The only drawback is that it sprays a little bit of ChainBrite as you pedal the chain through the cleaner. This doesn't bother me--when I'm working in the garage I expect to get dirty--but you should be aware of this so that you be sure to put down plenty of newspaper or other disposable surface type.

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

        Comments about Park Chainmate Chain Scrubber:

        So I hooked this tool up to my sadly abused, foul-weather, ride-through-anything mountain bike. I expected it to take about 5 cycles to get all the garbage off my chain. WRONG! In ten minutes I had the chain gleaming. I couldn't believe the job it did and with no horrible mess either. Definitely recommend it.

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

        • Cheap plastic

        Best Uses

        Comments about Park Chainmate Chain Scrubber:

        This tool I use after every ride in the dirty,dusty single track trails of the Wissahickon park in Philadelphia, PA. I mostly will put some 2 parts Simple Green cleaner and 1 part water in the unit to clean the chain clear of dirt and mud and dust. It actually works well and the magnet does pick up a significant amount of metal shavings from the chain. THis is visible and really makes you feel like the cleaning was worthwhile. When this one eventually breaks, I will definitly get a replacement one of the same brand/model.

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

          Comments about Park Chainmate Chain Scrubber:

          I have used this tool for the first time and wish I had gotten it sooner. Where I live in south Jersey a lot of the trails are riddled with sand. This thing gets all of the muck out of the rollers and chain joints. I used to remove the rear wheel and spray WD 40 then use compressed air to blow out debris which is a lot more labor intensive and does not do as good of a job.
