    One thing to note though, Dont break a chain with it. If you break the pin your fecked as you use the same pin to rivet the new one on, just turn it around. when its broke the pin isnt long enough.

    To remove an old chain just atack it with bolt croppers, an angle grinder or a hack saw. Anything thats to hand really that looks like it will get the job done.

    Just dont break a chain with the tool.

    A bloke asked me how do I spit my chain, I said use a grinder, a day later he came in to have his chain rivited with his old one cut in half, I said most people grind the pins down rather than use a petrol disc cutter to slice in in half... :S
