Anyone managed to split the power link, any tips? Replacement link pack suggest you need to do it with a chain tool!

After taking an angle grinder to one in a fit of rage we bought one of these.

Cheers, I did wonder if that was the answer. Link re-use ok?

I've reused xx1 11 speed links before now.

Although have now replaced with a Whipperman connex link. Pricey but super easy to undo by hand.

Not sure if they do a 12 speed one yet. But worth a look.

Ive reused my X01 link about 6 times so far. No one has died.

Powerlocks reuse fine. Those Link pliers are one of those tools you wonder how you got by without when you get a pair. Makes the job so easy..
