Re: Vex Pro #25 Chain Master Link Source

I'm only now noticing the disclaimer that only the master links below (which are conveniently out of stock) work with Vex chain.

We were hoping to do assembly this Friday and over the weekend so would that mean my next best bet is to order chain from McMaster? I need close to 120ft so $5 per foot is robbery compared to $1 per foot from Vex.

Any concerns about using Vex sprockets with other sourced chains?

Insert panic.
Andymark #25 works fine with McMaster master links, and is only slightly pricier than Vex chain.
