I had this problem a while back, i am lucky in that my local shop is pretty good and have been loyal to them for a long time (since i was 16 and im now 40 
) they lent me a rivit tool that looked like it was from the ark but worked a treat where as the one i brought from a dealer broke in seconds.
I did of course give them a few drinks for the loan and was realy greatfull to them. affter i spoke to them it turns out it is a common problem with some modern chains where the split link is much harder than is needed and he has heard of many broken tools.
Tashi or something i think that chain was that i had the problem with. or at least it began with a t im sure.
if your close to a friendly place they will normaly fit the link for a couple quid if you push the bike there
