KMC Z610 HX MissingLink question

Been re-using KMC, SRAM and Connex chain links for years - never had one go wrong. I think the re-use thing is purely to protect the manufacturer from a product liability perspective.

Hi, i just bought a KMC Z610 HX chain and it arrived with a non-reusable MissingLInk. I bought the chain from CRC, so far all well and good.

On KMCs website there is a specific ML for the Z610 but so far i can't find anyone in the UK who sells it.....including CRC!

Assuming there are quite a few people on this forum who use this chain. What do you do? When you break the chain for cleaning etc, what ML or connector do you use? Is there an alternative connector that could be used that is re-usuable? Or do you dispose with the ML completely and use a traditional chain breaking tool?

Been suggested to me to use a three piece KMC 1/8'' Uni-connector....cost £1 and is re-useable....same pin length at 7.8mm.

What about using a KMC half-link.....that can be broken by a splitter as it does not have mushroom pins?
