Expensive but by far the best and will last forever, unlike the others: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_od...veter&_sacat=0

That tool won't rivet hollow pin links - the most common type of replacement split chain.

I borrowed one of the £30 "did style" ones and it worked well. However, I wouldnt try and drive an old link straight out. I ground the head flush first, some people have bent the pin not grinding.

It formed the rivet really well and I was pleased with the result.
