DarkSoul alternative?
Our DarkSoul broke, and Dave's Motors is all out of stock. Does anyone have any good alternatives that allow you to make continuous loops of #25 chain?

This seems to be semi popular in the FTC world. Looks to have similar functionality to a dark soul. |

It'll be a shame if there isn't anywhere else selling the DS chain tool anymore. I recommend them to pretty much everyone. |

We've used this one for #35 chain before if that helps any. It's no Darksoul tool but it works alright: http://www.jegs.com/i/JR-Race-Car/574/654-8800/10002/-1 There is apparently at least one DarkSoul tool on Ebay if you feel like giving that a try: http://www.ebay.com/itm/331693252632 |

Re: DarkSoul alternative?
If you're fine with #35 chain:
http://www.bmikarts.com/35-Deluxe-Chain-Tool_p_648.html https://cometkartsales.com/-35-Space-Chain-Tool.html Can't recommend it highly enough. Worlds better than the Koch Industries chain breaker. |

Re: DarkSoul alternative?
Our mechanical lead is a MacGuyver-type, and has maintained machinery with #25-#40 chain at Micron and Amazon. He tells me all the time, "Don't be an idiot, master links work fine".
He thinks most people's troubles with them is that they bend the plates or stress the pin joints when breaking the chain to begin with. When he oversees our #25 chain installs, with master links, the chains do not break. He does like the Dark Soul tool, but not because it can create a continuous chain. However, we can all agree that half-links are the devil. |
