Suddenly the clip-type masterlinks for these chains are unobtainable and only the rivet-types are available which means i need a riveting tool.

On the chain box it says one needs a DID KM500R tool, but that costs more than the chain itself and i dont want to invest in such tools at this time. Will the cheaper Adendorff stuff work? I see they list list two sets:-

Also i read on the Net the pins must be flaired between .5mm and .7mm - is this correct?

Would love to get my bike on the road again and this is the only aspect holding me back.
