What chain tools are you using? Is either designed for 1/8" chain? I broke a pin on my Park Master chain tool setting up my Izumi toughness, do to a poor fit on the thick chain. This fall I bought the Pedros Tutto multi-chain tool which has a specific setting for 1/8" in chains. I haven't used the Pedros tool yet on a track chain, but I will for my next track bike build. Both of these tools have replacable pins and spare pins can be found online.
