you dont need a chain splitter, just a grinder, grind the top of the link off of were you want to cut the chain and then use a hammer and punch and it will pop right out
LOL my mate told me the exact same thing!lol but got a chain splitter man found it buried away in my tool box easiest thing to use and doesn't need electric plus my grandad almost took his thumb of when he was grind my trailer to size so he is a bit weary of using it now.
