Re: chain tool
I own the one that Squirrell has tried breaking, and Drew also borrowed it for one of his mates.
I get on with it, don't get me wrong, it's a fiddly bugger but nice and sturdy so you can put some downforce on it if required, me and ValleyBoy bent a Motrax one easily without trying a couple of years ago which cost £60. Squirrell took it back to the shop for a refund and I got one of what you put a link to delivered and had it ever since.
Regarding the sticky out pin bit (let me know if that was a bit too technical ; ) ) I have only ever used that if removing a link, in which case I grind off the top off the pin in the link to be removed and then the pin bit is used to push it through, if you try this without grinding the top of the pin to be removed then it can snap or bend.
Other than that, I just cut through a chain with a grinder if replacing it. Must be fool proof, I've had TheOnlyNemesis and BaP use it too when showing them how to change their chains
