If I read this correctly the question is how to not push the pin all the way out of the side plates. The classic method is to stop turning the tool's handle/pushing pin before the chain pin falls out. Sure this takes both thinking before the pin is fully out and looking at the pin's partially removed state then reusing the tool to continue the push a tad more. Once this technique is done it becomes obvious why many BICYCLE chain tools have no pin push limit device, because it's so easy to just check during the process. Andy
