Just wanted to recommend what seems to be a fantastic, cheap tool.
I used the Harbor Freight Heavy Duty Chain Breaker today to break my old chain. The tool is only $9.99 and comes with a spare breaking pin. I did not grind off the old rivet heads (although some people do recommend doing so) and I had absolutely no trouble breaking the chain. Apparently you can also use the tool to install the master link, I will find out how well that works tomorrow.
Considering how pricey some of the other tools are, I think this is a good deal.
