So far I've broke three. Perhaps it's because Im using them on 30 year old rusted chains. However is there a speacial way they should work? I don't want to break another one. I've got a chain to mend together and don't want to break another one.
How to use a chain tool?

sounds like your usin it right to me, they are REALLY easy to break, especially the bell and pyramid brands i had before. went through 3 bells and 2 pyramids really quick.
i spent $20 and got a parktools ct-7, its done great so far. i think the ct-5 is cheaper and is supposed to be pretty good too but it looked to be made too much like the others i broke.

Soak the chain with wd40 and make sure you get the pen in the breaker straight with the pen in the chain. If it is off just a little bit it will break the center of the tool. Also get a park tools breaker but make sure that is is straight in there. Hope that helps a little.
for removal of chains im not gonna re-use i use a hammer and an old screwdriver. i plan to upgrade to bolt cutters someday.
