I assume you are using a connecting link to provide the connection then since the pin is destroyed. Connecting links are weak points and breaking points. In our previous years we have broken chains at connection links. Last year we used a homemade breaker similar to the one in the posted link and pressed the pin back in. We never broke a chain. And you can't even find where the pin was pressed back in. We won't be going back to using connections links.
