Sense we're on the subject. Installing the new chain yesterday, I used EK's patented Screw Type Connecting Link. No riveting or clip.
It comes with extra long shafts that are threaded half way. After inserting, put plate on and finger tight nuts provided. 5/16 wrench start equally torqing down. Once it bottoms, you break off threaded shafts. Must work like a plumbing compression fitting. Clean look & reported to be as strong as a riveted link without the hasel.
