I do carry a tool for practically everything on the bike. Just not a chain breaker or extra links to replace the bad one. Yes belts break, and chains shatter. Honestly, I could give 2 $hit$. I think risking (small risk) a belt breaking is worth the benefit of no maintenance or noise. How long does it take you to replace links on a chain that's tight on the gears? Probably just as fast as me pulling 2 bolts to replace the belt.
