I did hand peen two chains. A good-n-heavy backing piece of steel/iron helps a LOT. I used the clip on the last chain I did, and it held for over 100k miles before the car was totaled. I used a short piece of railroad track to back the link during the hand peening. I would not hesitate to use the clip - if you follow directions.
