I'd love to hear how these tools perform. I want my team to get away fro Master Links in #35 chain, so just some info about how well it works would be greatly appreciated.

Then remove however links we need to and flip the chain and press the pin back in.
I would be really interested in seeing some pictures of this. This sounds amazing, and a clever piece of engineering.
