And while some people reuse the shimano/KMC links I wouldn't even think about it on an 11 speed drivetrain. If a chain pops on me while in an all out sprint or while standing on a climb I'm probably going crash with a very good chance of injury. I can afford the few bucks it takes to maintain the bike properly.

YBN QRs quick links can be reused 5 times making the cost about $.70/use when purchased on eBay. Or you can use the Connex reusable link that will last at least the life of the chain and doesn't require any tools to remove/install. They come with the Connex chains if you ever purchase one.
