+1 on the chain pin tool - I still have my Cyclo from 50 years ago but I also have a modern copy that is almost identical and was cheap. Best to practice a bit but once one gets the hang of it I personally find it easier than using a master link because I am always almost losing the stupid clip - I know there is a tool for that and that people find them easy but for some reason on both motorcycles and bicycles those damn link clips are my kryptonite!
