And, it's a Park Tool. I'll try your master link suggestion. Thanks!
Seriously, it got to the point where I broke a bolt every time I used the damn thing and each time, lost some skin on my fingers (and once dislocated my pinky). It's a bad design because if you accidentally twist the chainwhip even the slightest bit while using it, the bolt snaps. I'm surprised Park hasn't corrected the issue by now.
A master link meant to hold up just like any other chain link would and is much stronger than a little bolt so it makes a world of difference.
