Vex is out of stock of the heavy duty master link. Where can we purchase a master link that will work with the vex chain?
Team 221 sells a Dark Soul chain tool for #25 chain. It's available from a few different suppliers online. It allows you to break and rejoin chain without any master links; we use it all the time now. Why not contact vex about the strength of the master link?
