And what's the on-the-bike version - or should I just carry a spare master link along with a chain breaker.

If the chain breaks at the master link, you won't need pliers; if it breaks elsewhere, you won't need to undo it.

Kinda what I thought. But I can never trust myself entirely, because I like to make stuff up.

Having a squeeze together one is just a convenience - saves having to take the bike off the stand to stand on the pedals.

Never underestimate how lazy I can be.

In fairness I have master link pliers. Every single time I use them instead of dicking around with needlenose pliers I think "that was money well spent."

I never take the bike off the stand, just hold the back wheel and yank on a crank.
