+1 on the tool.. I have one too. Still have to grind the head off a link's rivet before I use it though. Pushing a rivet out without grinding it flush will probably shatter the tool's driving pin. Oddly though, if you have the grinder to grind the head off a link's rivet you may as well just use the grinder to cut straight through the old chain. It is the best thing ever though to peen over a new rivet head.
