Wipperman and KMC are both reuseable.
The SRM 10 powerloc is officially not reuseable, but with the right pliers, you can queeze the rollers together and take it off, for reuse. If it has no snap left upon reinstallation, I'd toss it.
Forster sell the superlink in the model 3 for the wider group or chain and the model 4 for SRAM or Campy.
As for using the replacement pins - read the Shimano instructions?
I bought a new SRAM PC-830 chain for $10, Powerlink included. A replacement SRAM 8-speed Powerlink goes for $5. What makes the Powerlink reusable or not?
