Hey Mick your making me work here
The last chain i did was for two dogs and i just rivited over the link with a ball pein hammer on an anvil, ie vice.
Worked a treat.
But for what there worth if you get an ek chain just pay the little extra for a screw link.

You don’t need special tools to install your new EK Chain. This unique, patented link gives a rivet-like fit, using only an 8mm wrench and a pair of pliers. It’s available as an option on many EK Chains.

 


EK Chain Cutting & Riveting Tool

Like EK Chains, this professional-quality tool is made of only the finest materials, Machined from a solid billet of hardened steel, it’s designed for a lifetime of service. The EK Chain Cutting & Riveting Tool can be used to drive out pins when removing old chains, and for connecting your new chain with the included clamping plates. It’s the best way to ensure secure installation of your new EK Chain.

Rob,

      Will the EK joining link work on any other chain of the same size? And the EK Cutting Riveting tool, how much are they??

Hey Mick
I can't tell you for sure if the ek screw link would work on another brand, but i can't see any reason why it wouldn't as long as the pin diameter is the same size.
the pitch would be standard.

And there chain breaker looks heavy duty ,best to email the resellers in the US and get a price http://www.ekchain.com/order.htm
