Reuseable SRAM 10 spd Powerlock
Does anyone have any experience with the reuseable SRAM 10 speed Powerlock?
See: https://www.pricepoint.com/detail/190...-Of-4-2009.htm
Any idea why they didn't have a reuseable 10 spd connecting link in the first place? For example, was it because of engineering or marketing?
I hope it's as easy and handy as their 9 spd Powerlink.

"PowerLOCK" means it is not re-usable.

My Park MPL-1 (Master Link Pliers), says it is quite re-usable.

The above referenced website describes the 2008 PowerLock as a one time use link, but clearly describes the 2009 PowerLock as a reuseable link. You'd think SRAM would rename a reuseable PowerLock as PowerLink to convey the reuseable feature. I checked SRAM's website and did not find any mention. I assume I should call/write Pricepoint to verify accuracy of the description.

^ Yes, you should. Or email. I have had such problems with their description accuracies in the past concerning small parts.

so how many out there are disassembling/reassembling their 10 sp PowerLOCK (not PowerLINK) chains? any issues? Obviously you can't remove it like the PowerLINK but otherwise any differences?
