that explains why I've bent so many pins before LOL
because I use them anywhere on the chain .... even made my own out of good quality steel and the pin still bent some chains are really tough !
I found its easiest to simply lay the chain on the jaws of the vice with the jaws open about 1/8" and then smack the pin with a flat punch or 1/2" rod to get it started... then use a tempered "Nail set" punch and drive the pin out
although the putting the pin is much easier as the pin has moved and is loose
their still a press fit ...but the vice puts the pin the best I've seen.
