From looking around I've seen DID and whale are the best out there but I'm not in a position to get one.
I've had one of the sealey riveters for 4 years now,removed and fitted many chains no problem,as Pepsi says the secret is to grind the head off a rivet so it is flush with the link plate, then, and only then, do you use the tool to push the river out otherwise you are likely to shatter the rivet removal pin.
