OTOOLWORLD New Metal Watch Band Strap Link Pin Remover Remove Repair Tool Kit for Watchmakers with 4 Extra Pins

Well made and solid watch link removal tool. Does not break or bend like others made from plastic. Very satisfied with this purchase.

I broke a few of my plastic tools removing links off a watch but this tool is sturdy, effective and adjustable. There are adjustable bottom seats that allow the link to rest precisely at the height needed for the push push pin to line up. This tool made the job easier and is better than anything I've ever owned or used before.

If you've ever bought one or more "professional" watch tool sets currently sold on Amazon, you know the deal. They come with everything you need, we're told, to change out a dead battery or resize a watch band, and I suppose that's true -- but it's only true once because the tools are of such poor quality that by the time you're finished sizing one band the link remover tools (like this one) are broken or bent, as are any of the little pin punches. I've bought three or four such kits hoping to find an exception, but they're not worth the price of postage, especially if you're working on a watch you bought somewhere other than the Walmart jewelry counter that you'd rather not scratch. Basically, all of these link remover tools sold on Amazon look identical, following one of two propototypes. The basic design idea seems sound, but the metal is so soft that it seems like melted down resin core solder., poured into molds to form ill-fitting pieces. So I was quite shocked when I received this OTOOLWORLD link remover, as it actually seems built to survive more than one use. The screw shafts turn smoothly through the frame with little to no play. Also, the round platform pieces that raise or lower the watchband when you turn them unti the push pin aligns with the watchband link pins -- well, they function smoothly and work as designed, instead of falling out when you turn them. Look, this device is not a precision part suitable for the James Webb telescope, but it's infinitely better than any others I've bought here, and it actually works for occasional home use. It's well worth the price!

Did exactly what it claims to do. Took me less than 5 minutes to remove a link on my Swiss Army watch. 👍

Plus: All metal, no plastic. I expect it will last a long time. Good design; one side for pin removal, the other to push the pin back in. Minus: rough finish, would not appear nice when working on a high end watch. Does the job, but finishing could be much improved.

The tool I received was very poorly made and unusable in the condition that I received it. The threaded shaft designed to push watch band pins out was so bent that it couldn’t be rotated more than half a turn in either direction. Consequently it couldn’t even be screwed out enough to allow a watch band to be laid inside the tool (see my video). This could be shipping damage but I don’t think so. There was no damage to the box at all. Also the threaded support pads that can have their height adjusted to support the band are not parallel to the base plate of the tool. The holes that they thread into were not drilled straight into the base plate but instead at an angle (see my photo). Maybe I was just unlucky and got a bad tool. But this one is a piece of junk.

Tool is well made and provides the sturdy frame necessary to force some watch band pins out...in contrast to the plastic versions which just flex when encountering some seemingly stuck band pins. The second feature of this tool is the driver to reinstall the removed pins. It will smoothly drive the old pins back into place without hammering them. It should go without saying, but just incase, be sure and note the arrows on the back of the band that indicate the direction to push the old pins out of the band. To reinstall the pins they should be installed the opposite direction that the arrows point. Also note the pins themselves as they are different on each end. You should reinstall them the same orientation as they came out.

The product is well made

Easy to use and accurate description.

Está bien esta herramienta para usarlo en casa 👍

Cheap quality

Solid metal. If you take your time, this little machine works well.

I got this watch and band for my wife for Christmas. Only downside is it came 3 weeks late. But my wife loved it and the vintage gold, elegant, tastefully slender band. Hard to hate something as nice as this and also hard to find. I'll say this one is a 7 star.
