Its not hard to spin a wheel to find the soft link.
Have fun.

Forgive me for asking... but I have searched endless chains many times for a "Hidden link" and found nothing not even a link with no divots but straight backs... what's the secret of finding the "SOFT Link " ???
I have no doubt that what you said is true, but I've not seen a single chain like that that has discolored links or pins or any thing of the sort to give it away.... whatt'a ya gott'a do hold a seance ? LOL
