KMC's US marketer's information says "no", but I've noticed that the
information published in other countries about the same product does
not appear echo that restriction; it looks like a case of combined
maximization of profit and CYA in one move.
I will note, however, that some of the earlier KMC snaplinks had nasty
little nubs on the insides of the plates which made them harder than
usual to unsnap. I think it's possible that those were intentionally
designed to be as unremovable as possible, and that the feature may
account for the published one-use policy. If questioned, I will deny
that I filed the nubs off of the ones that I've been re-using myself.
