Anyone have some ideas on how to get a pair cast iron chain snaps un-stuck? The two pins on the side are jammed into the jaws and I have tried a bunch of ways to get them freed up but to no avail.... ty,kpc

Stuck Chains:
If a Ridgid 206 is a chain soil pipe cutter and stuck, I have always gotten mine undone by coming back on the handle in the off position with the directional handle in the "Off" position.
It happens to me because I have a soil pipe cutter and not a No-Hub cutter. With No-Hub and some old soil pipe, it is an in between size and it comes between chain links. If I did enough soil pipe work now, I would buy a new chain for the cutter that is a No-Hub chain. The spacings on the links are closer together.
If it is a vice stand, the same applies.
Either way, someone must have really cranked on it.0
