Installing monkey links?....
On a monkey link, do you just hammer the "nubs" to form the link? Does it take heat?
Gotta repair a chain today and just picked one up, never used one before. What works best if anyone has any tricks........  And I know someone will ask, but it's repair links like this...

Re: Installing monkey links?....
It now is the "weak link."
Just be sure to remember it is there when you use the chain in the future. |

Re: Installing monkey links?....
If having a similar size/shape link is not important, use a chain shackle.
