I don't really go thru enough chain for a spinner to be a great investment, otherwise I'd have one by now. But I a big loop of milling chain for my saw and I just found out its the wrong size, 2 links too long i think. Local hardware store apparently only has 1 employee that knows chainsaw stuff and knows if the shop can or can't shorten the chain for me... So I'm on the fence to just buy a spinner and shorten it myself for $100, or just punch it with a rivet setter. That must be a viable option? I've set rivets before, just never in chain. I think I can do it no problem, besides when you buy strap links you get like 20 to a pack so it's not like I don't get a second chance if I don't like the looks of it.
