So ah like ah.... wot do you fullas do with all the little grindy bits that get pushed off by the grinderator?
I tend to prefer the chain press methode meselfish. Been guilty of the four handed, punch and dolly methode when the ocassion requires as well before the tool box was properly stocked.
Motionpro and Bewzetti are a couple of tool manufactores that make such a tool. Plenty of others depending on your world location.

With the Dremel, there's not a lot of crap generated, and I stuff every orifice with clean rag. Anything that is stuck to the chain, and its only the link in question that's exposed, gets removed with the chain. Clip lnk gets installed with the new chain so no problem. And I am paranoid about crap getting inside when I'm working on them.

The workshop was dirty and needed replacing anyway......
the mechanic was the same (except he was old as well as dirty).....
people think its custom paint (untill it gets wet an rusty).........
Many ways to skin a cat (and break a chain)....... but i still reckon the proper tool is best for less experianced hands.
Taffy..... would you let the greenhorn apprentice loose on your own camchain with an angle grinder? (a good man with an AG can be inspiring to watch produce art but a novice can make a groovy mess in no time).
Steve..... Ya dremmel takes off just as much metal as a grinder (ya still removing the pins!), it just takes longer and makes a finer dust.
So is any of this c**p any use to you Rumple?
I gota figure these smiley things out coz its hard to get the expression, interpretation right through written media.
Talks not only cheap but also easier.

Well, I am trying to stay away from buying a "Husaberg" chain tool for $252.00. If I could find one for cheaper would be great. Or I am gonna have to go the more professional route, and grind or dremmel it off of there. I also heard that the clip on link isn't as good as the press on master link. is that true? I only have less than a thousand miles on my new timing chain and I think it's getting loose again. Do you guys have any advice on what to look for, to why the chain is wearing out so fast? Also does anyone know what # the timing chain is?
Here is what I use.

Be sure to check out the link.... not go by the picture.
Here is a picture of all the goodies.
It will do press master links and swage the ends. Works for all kinds of chains, quite nice actually.
I still dremel the end of the pins though. I have broken a few of the pins in the tool.
They are around $95.00.

split link is stronger, soft link is what it says in the name = soft, soft link has to be safer if you can do a competent job of putting it on of course whereas you can see that you did a competent job with a split link or not but again if you don't know better and put the clip on the wrong way round would you admit it afterwards?
no! of course not!!!! it's called: "give the dog a bad name". and remember: soft link....sounds good dunnit!
most of all though, a chain should be replaced every single time you need a new soft link and you had to break a chain whereas an old split link should remain to grow old with the old chain it's fitted too.
this is the best chain of all. IWIS and a split link.

I live in the US. How much and how long would it take for a timing chain to get here? Taffy?
i take it taffy ,you have had no problems,or heard of no engine failures,using split links.
i have often thought about using a split link on a cam chain, but then thought again :idea: .....mmm better not.
ain't no 2nd chances like a drive chain.
she's all over red rover, if it flicks the split link off at max revs. 8O
