Pin Couplers & Removal Tools – Precision Connectors for Tire Chains

Ensure seamless chain repair and maintenance with TireChain.com’s high-quality pin couplers and specialized pin coupler removal tools. Designed for heavy-duty applications and reliable performance, these essential components make quick work of broken chains and minimize downtime on roads and job sites. Our range includes multiple sizes, durable construction, and a one-of-a-kind removal tool — everything you need for secure tire chain repairs and hassle-free maintenance.

What is a Pin Coupler?

A pin coupler—also called a repair pin coupler or pin-style link—is a key repair component that restores broken links in ladder-style tire chains. Simply replace the damaged link with a pin coupler-sized connector, slide the pin through the chain ends, and secure it with the integrated clip. It’s a fast, cost-effective alternative to replacing an entire chain assembly.
