W&S Spring Bar Plier Tool Set with 5 Durable Tips for Watch Spring Bar Pin Removal, Watch Strap & Wrist Band Replacement, Repair & Fix Kit

Great tool. Very high quality

They could have at least deburred and sanded down the edges, they are extremely sharp! The indention where you manually screw the bolt is razor sharp and it cut my thumb. I sanded down the edges myself with some 600 grit paper to make this safer to use. Not a polished product by any means, seems cheaply made.

Product arrived as scheduled and was what was supposed to be delivered

its on the cheaper range for what these kinds of plier tools usually run, but it will help prevent avoidable scratches on your high end watch. the different teeth are sized for different spring bar bumps. It will take your attention and patience to line it up correctly and tighten each side correctly before use. Apply like an isosceles triangle at an angle and don't muscle it or you will break the tip or scratch your watch.

Awesome

In concept, this item is good. It is just so poorly engineered that it is almost impossible to use. It is indeed "compact". But this is the problem. It is too short to balance between the thumb and index finger. It is like using chopsticks that have been cut in half. The spring is so cheap and flimsy that it can not maintain adequate tension against the lugs of the watch case. It is constructed of lightweight aluminum. But this is not a "plus". There is absolutely no stability while using it. It simply jumps all over the place. If you use this you will wind up with more scratches on your bracelet and case than if you had used a conventional spring bar tool. This item is not worth one fourth the price that is being charged.

So the price on this was believe it or not on the low side for these types of pliers. The product came, it has a nice feel and overall I think it works pretty well. The key part of making this all work are the heads that actually catch the spring bars. The product comes with 6 pieces (3 sets of 3) and they all kinda feel a bit small next to some of my nicer spring bar tools, but the idea of having a way to easily put bracelets back on sold me on this. So the problem for me and why the 3 star review is that I had multiple of the pieces break (small breaks) trying to remove a bracelet. Now some of this is my fault, poor lighting and I got a bit physical with it, but at the same time, that's not a sign of a well machined product. My hope is I can buy a more expensive head for this from a brand that charges more, but use these pliers which again seem well made all else considered. I'll just end with this isn't a bad product or something to avoid, but be aware that you have to be gentle and also understand none of these are going to give you a good clean "feel" like you get with other tools.

This product seems to be well engineered but I can't tell yet about its longevity as I've only just received it. It is nice to have the spring loading mechanism for spring mounting pins. I'm not how well it would work if at all on watch band compression retention pins. Will post a an update if I se any concerns after I've had it for a while
