I assume you mean "Every chain manufacturer *but* campagnolo and shimano?
FYI I agree that a fix with the shimano pin or a quick link would probably be better than fixing the chain the old fashioned way, but in my experience fixing the chain using the just chain itself does not guarantee that it will "assplode" like many people think.
