Well, I am now changing my vote to troll.
On the off chance that you are serious, the issue is not one of having to spend hundreds of dollars to act the part of a "cyclist". The issue is that you have done something to save $5 that has very likely compromised the chain. At best this could mean a long walk home. At worst it could result in fairly serious injury. If you value your teeth, go buy a new chain and a proper chain tool. Get one with a masterlink, cut it size and the install it. If you don't care to hear this, simply stop asking questions.
Best of luck.
