Does the master link outside clip, the tighter one, fit easily in the recessed place for it in the tool? The tool instructions from Performance Parts said the clip would be held in place magnetically, but I had to force the clip down into the recessed place with channel pliers and it did not bottom out. The master link is an Iwis brand from Rusty, as is the chain. The tool has an ST brand stamped on it. I'm not sure I understand how you press the link back out after you draw the chain through. I can understand how you can work the clip off the end by prizing it gently. Gerry
