Know what you mean about cheap crap chain tools, i've broke loads...  >:(

Bought a shadow one, bit pricey at 20 quid but well made and hasn't failed yet...  :daumenhoch:

If you're using a split link, then the best way to deal with fattys is to use a mtorbike chain breaker.  No good for pushing pins back through, purely for splitting links.  I've got one of these;
