Anybody use one and are they any good? I'm splitting my chain regular now for maintenance at the SRAM power lock point. I'm aware they are one shot only and don't want to be replacing them all the time due to cost. The connex link looks like a good idea.

The one that came with my connex chain kept lifting off on the 11 tooth sprocket and caused the chain to slip.

I have one with a Shimano chain, no complaints so far.

I can also undo it with my fingers which I struggled to do with the Shimano chain link.

I bought once due to use once paranoia with the Shimano CL

I used to be a big fan of them when I was running 10 speed. Their 12 speed options are very expensive so I haven't tried those yet.

Are their 12 speed options officially reusable?

I've been using wipperman chains for years in 10sp and 11sp variations, never had issues, just make sure the link is the right way up. I also take my chain off regularly so it's a necessity for me, I'm now using 12sp shimano hg+ chain on one bike, so I'm a bit bugged about not having one for that, the price is a bit ridiculous just for a link.
