I thought the same thing and some fat birdie pointed out that it is a really short chain... so maybe it won't be bad.I surely hope so!

That's just heresay!!! You can't believe everything people say about him on the internet can you? Nobody has to answer, it was rhetorical for those who didn't pick up on that. THE BUILT IN TENSIONER, BUILT IN TENSIONER, remember guys, it has the tensioner built in so you can always keep the chain tight. I don't know jack about this feature really but I do have plenty of experience with chain driven ATV's, motorcycles and dirt bikes and the damned sprockets that go along with them. I will concede there is a lot of difference in the tension put on the chains I'm used to and the chain on an automatic press. Honestly I like the design overall, the quality of the chain, sprocket and the strain on it will determine it's longevity. I'm sure they know what they are doing and know all the stuff we know, but barney sure as hell didn't do them any favors with his comments.
if you pull the chain off, wouldn't it be easier to just toss a new one on? If it's anything like a chainsaw chain you will spend more time trying to get the 1 freaking loop out of it than you will cutting down trees.
