Tool is beautiful.
I apologize if this isn’t clear - I think this is what you’re asking - usually when I break chains (not that it happens that regularly) or see broken chains one of the outer links have snapped has snapped and the other gas popped off the chain pin, or more often the outer plates are bent/splayed and otherwise intact.
I use the pack pliers to flex/snap one of the broken/splayed outer plates off the side that isn’t broken and then that pin slides out as well leaving me two inner links to join.
If it would be helpful I could fake some photos! It’s surprisingly hard to explain clearly.
