I wouldn't put a lot of stock in the peening. We used to peen aircraft parts when I worked at a plasma coating shop. If those little pins were properly peened, they'd be useless as pins. They'd be warped and deformed. Chances are, they throw a bazillion pins into big tumbler with a pound or two steel shot and call it peened.
As for the chain tool, I never used a REALLY old one, but if you buy a new one, it shouldn't set you back more than $25 bucks, and then you won't have to worry about it.
