Just saw the post on the crimper. I did not use one.

As has been discussed over the years on the forums, I "peened" the link ends. Actually, I had a chain breaker that I used to round over the ends. It's not rocket science, but if anyone has qualms about it I wouldn't advise doing it without the crimper.
