OK. Slack for the new guy.
Most, if not all, new chains have pins that are "mushroomed" at the outer plate. Like rivets. Often, when you push a pin out, you actually get a little ring of metal around the pin on your chain tool. This is the portion of the chain pin that secures it in the outer plate. Without that, the plate can (more easily) come off...leading to broken teeth and crushed huevos.
Use a quick link.
You're welcome.
