I made a "tool" from an old spoke. Cut it short and bend the ends back so that you can stick the
ends through the chain links and use it to take the tension off the master link and several
sorrounding links. Then, all you have to do is to push the plates together and push the links
together -- not having to worry about releasing and having it go back to tight. It still takes
practice, but it's not hard -- and the tool easily fits in your pack for trail use.
