• Absolute conjecture here, but split link pins are probably a looser fit so they can be pushed in by hand (rather than driven in/out by a chain tool.). Could explain why a new one would appear to be "worn"?

  • Sorry, to clarify, this was a used quick link that a bike jumble seller had artfully repositioned inside the packaging.

    And look. I'm not too cut up about it. It's a £3 part. It was just petty.
