Master Link, the dark side.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.

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.
