Pros & Cons
Pros
They are simple and convenient, strong and reliable, and perform flawlessly. They make life easier for mechanics and non-mechanics. They are often a better value than the lower priced chains with flat sided link plates and buying the ml separately.
They are a bit hard to unhook, but do you really want them to come off easily? Little tight getting to click in, but once seated, working well.
It's fiddly but can be done. The cardboard package provides all the instructions needed for installing and removing the missing link. It goes on super easy then stiffens to the point pliers are needed to remove.
Kmc. The missing links are easy to attach. They are awesome.
Item is exactly as described, and works as it should. Used this on a shamano chain for an 8 speed cassette. The links work perfectly, be sure to order the right speed.
Cons
It makes an extra clunky sound when it goes around the chain ring or through the jockey wheels on the derailleur. It squeezes the chain links surrounding the quick link, causing that length of chain to become extremely stiff.

Push new-only pins back into the holes with a vice-grip pliers , in 3 increments.

Price
Took off a star because i had to buy the $15 tool for removal.
I found a great deal on chains.
It is really cheap insurance, and sure beats walking home.
At this price you can keep a couple in your parts bag for the road or trail.
Shipping
I was so happy to find a fix for my chain and glad it came quickly and was exactly what was needed.
Got what i needed and fast great costumer service with a follow up email making sure it was what i wanted and needed.
Packaging/appearance
They were well packed and did exactly what the product stated.
Units appear to be of excellent quality and have good packaging.
Competitiveness
You can use these to join both kmc and shimano chains.
Kmc sells a missing link closing tool and maybe it's more useful for the missing links designed for their 9/10/11-speed chains,... Read More

Clip in place really well can be reused but i’d personally hesitate to use them more than twice

They were all not wide enough

I spent hours trying to get them to fit and only once was i successful but the chain was pretty tight at the link

Buy these and you wont be sorry

These kmc missing links love the name are the best master links for bicycle chains hands down
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
But only for use with rear derailleur bikes as the spring tension is needed to hold it tight
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Hint you can use a small nail punch and a decent hammer to get the pins out without spending good money on a onetimeuse nonreturnable chainbreaker
