We see way too any rider injuries from poorly set rivets. Use a
snaplink.


That's all fine and well in a shop, but when your stranded without tools
you have to make due.



Of course - in an emergency, field expedients are called for. However, a
chain tool isn't all that heavy, although it is a fairly awkward shape.
Thing about those Shimano pins, though, is they keep falling out of the
tool bag.

You could maybe embed it under your skin, and carry a straight razor
in the bag to cut it out...

Or find a clasp for it and wear it through a nasal piercing, almost as hardcore.
