Any old rusted chain that’s going in the trash bin anyway I take two adjustable crescent wrenches and put them side by side on the chain and twist in opposite directions. The chain will snap every time and no wear and tear on the chain tool.

No sparks though.


PS
This trick also works as a safe way to break steel banding straps that hold things on wooden pallet skids and the ends don’t go flying.
