Chain riveter

Just a word of warning.
I've got a whale riveter and just did the xtc chain. Trouble is I probably gave it one to many taps with the hammer and riveted the link tight so that it struggled to straighten up when it came off the sprocket.....DOH
Replaced it with split link.
The guy at B&C said rivet links are best but they still sell the odd split links and there's nothing wrong with them ( but you don't need to buy a tool to fit a split link)
