K710 SL, chain tool problems

Hi,
anyone here using the K710 SL chain?

It does have hollow rivets, so I am really wondering if this chain can be closed with a chain tool at all? The one I have here was supplied with a master link, too.

I can break it (with more force needed than with any other chain), but when connecting, the closed link joint will be almost stuck. Never experienced that with another chain.

Anyone any experience with this chain?

Have you flexed it a bit once you've put the pin back in? I find most chains are a bit jammed at the joining pin until flexed a bit.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
