    I've seen those, it's the one where you have to use a 2lb hammer to rivet the master link pins? ...some have a threaded bolt or similar to manually tighten and rivet.

    Yes that’s right mate, a good wallop is needed but I’m pretty sure you would only buy it once lol

    Been using a DID KM500 for about 25 years, bulletproof and sets the side plates correctly, and if used properly does not damage the pin when you rivet it
