Okay, so I'm not really sure if this is doable, and forgive the newbieness of this question, but I got my hands on an old 10-speed (the make of which is confusing, but that's not the point, I don't think). I was going to do the Simple Green + Chain in a soda bottle method of cleaning the chain, and I figured that it'd be easier to make the chain come off for future cleaning if I got an SRAM Powerlink.

I don't really feel like getting a chain tool, because I'll more than likely only use it once, if I get the chain off and the Powerlink installed.

I've read all sorts of methods as to how to get a chain off without a chain tool, and since I'll probably be installing the Powerlink, I don't really mind destroying a link.

Anyone have ideas?
