Bike chain tools do work, at least the two I've used. The the standard bike chain size is smaller, but most tools have two spots for a standard size chain and for a larger BMX chain. The BMX chain spot is just big enough to jam the #35 in. And you don't need master links to put it back together, though that can be a pain to put them together without masters. I personally think a non-master link chain is more reliable than a one with a master link, though it probably doesn't matter.

You push the pin almost out of the hole, yank on the chain to pop it apart, shorten the chain with the same method, pop the chain back together, push the pin in, and then push it back from the other side to keep it from binding.
