I have re-used the links that you bend a little to pop the front plate off multiple times and never broken one.
That said, if I was going to be routinely breaking a chain (for waxing say) I reckon I’d be looking to use a chain with a threaded fastener like the Izumi Super Tough.
Increase in longevity of the chain due to increased maintenance would offset some of the additional initial outlay.
