I will throw shade on the park chain breaker, mine broke too pretty quickly, can’t remember what it was now but I was never happy with it from the outset.
Anyway, I replaced it with this KMC one which I much prefer:

I've had my CT-5 for 30+ yrs and I swear by it for durability, simplicity and portability (always carry on a ride to solve chain breaks). Used with thought I don't think there is better. We use them dozens of times a week at work and have no probs either.
I just wish the "anvils" for releasing tight rivets after re-insertion were better thought out as they hold the chain at a bit of an angle.
Hey what's the go to quality chain breaker? I had a little park tool one which I busted trying to break track chains (it was not designed for them, no shade on park)
