| The tool you need for bicycle chains is called a "Chain Rivet Extractor".
However, if the chain broke, you need a new chain. Otherwise, it will be a link short. Often , rust will cause a chain to fail, so keep the bike out of the rain.

This is a link to Park Tool, the industry leader in bike tools, the chain tool page of the website.
The chain tools with long handles are more expensive, but they are for production work.
For the average bike owner, the screw type is recommended. It's a little slower , but your not building eighteen bikes a day.
If the chain has a master link, you might not need the tool, but Park Tool also has a tool for master links as well.
