    I would think the little extensions where the nuts go on would catch on things like the chain guide or the cases and eventually wear off, leaving the plate free to part ways with the rest of the master link. I can only imagine how expensive the results would be.

    I was searching for tools and chain info and came across it. I thought for us normal folk that change a chain every 16K and need a tool once every three years, that it may be a nice alternative to a $100 tool. It it about $5-7 more than a standard rivet type master link.
