Thought I'd share a tip: the Giant chain tool works freaking awesome. The beauty is the little threaded adjuster that snugs up against the side plate and keeps it from bending as you press out the old pin. Also, unlike the majority of %$#& chain tools you can actually push the old pin all the way out in one shot, making it a breeze to repair the chain with a break-off Shimano pin - making the repair as strong as new. (I hate re-using old stubby pins.)
Anyhow, I after fighting with some other chain tools on the trail this weekend I really wished I had my Giant tool with me, so I'm sharing the info now.
