I carry this:

and have on multiple occasions helped someone who has a broken chain on our heavily used MUP/Greenway. It has always been a broken quick link that is now missing, so I usually break the chain for a pin and put it back together one link short. It gets them home. I also carry different speed quick links, but usually the person just wants the chain shortened and do not want to take my quick link as a fix.
