Assuming that you are talking about a chain breaker, id like to advise you against it, from my experience with 25 chain, chain breakers tend to ruin the surrounding links, however an effective method that you could try is with a Dremel and center punch, What we do, is use the dremel to grind away the tip of the pin until just past the surface of the link itself, once its at that point, take the center punch, and align it with the pin, and gently knock it out with the center punch, and voila you then have separate pieces of chain, and assuming it is done right, they will not be damaged...

however if you do wish to use a chain breaker instead here are a few links that can help you out
