The concept of the rivet tool is analogous to using a regular c-clamp. This c-clamp's job is to smash the pin so it permanently deforms the material thus locking the pin in. The KEY CONCEPTS for doing this: grease the system (or motor oil), put the spare tip in backwards at the other end (see video!), DO NOT OVER COMPRESS the pin (match the clearance between links to that of neighboring factory link clearance), and make sure you measure at least 0.010" larger pin diameter. *The spare pin, that is in backwards, acts as the backer. This holds the other end of the pin as you are crushing the pin in. To use this as a chain breaker, simply remove the spare pin; since there is not a backer, the pin will be pressed through. I tried the hammer chisel method to try and set the rivet. I could not get it to work. I tried multiple angles; 4 and 3 edge too. You have to use the correct tool machined at the proper geometry, probably hardened to 55+ HRC. I was unsuccessful, I did not measure any change in outer diameter of the pin. Comment if you have questions or if the explanation doesn't make sense. I did bend the tip a little, but I could have pressed more rivets; and it comes with a spare tip. A 530 DID o-ring chain is shown in the video installed on a Honda CBR1000F.
