I have found that powerlock masterlinks can be quite difficult to break by hand and it becomes even more so when your handsfingers are slippery due to grease

Requires a quick link tool to open and i use channel lock pliers to close

Perhaps some will try and use it twice but from my experience once it is removed a part of the metal locking mechanism is destroyed and the link doesnt grip nearly as well the second time

Perhaps this is ok for the casual park or greenway rider but i wouldnt recommend a second use for a serious road or mountain biker
