That is a great list of link checkers. I didn’t know there were so many.
Currently I use a WordPress plugin that will help check backlinks on my blog. Unfortunately, it won’t check all the links, which is where the above sites may help.

Mine gives you a little bit more information, not only will it find broken links but you can see any nofollow, blocked by robots, search by anchor text and all sorts.
