which ever you buy take a dremel cut off disc to remove the peening on the link you want to split.this will make the job lots easier and make your chain tool last longer.....

Sorry a bit thick:
What does this actually mean? "dremel cut off disc to remove the peening on the link you want to split"

You should grind down the pins flush with the side plate (or plates ) before you push the pin out with the chain tool. It is much easier on the tool ( and your arm ) if you do it this way. That is very good advice....... Also don't use impacts on the tool. Instead use a wrench or adjustable wrench........your new chain tool will like you for it and last a long time.
