Yes and no. If you can get to the chain with the tool in position and you can get enough slack to make it work, etc.

Plus there is a limit to the number of ins/outs you can put per pin.

There are pluses, yes. There are also some negatives.

Weight the options and make your choices. For my part, I have never had a problem with well designed chain routings and standard master links.

Cheers,
