maybe once...
By M. Farrell
When I purchased this little kit I was amazed by the price. So a great deal of little tools at such a low price is great--unless you may only use them once before your kit has a few broken tools! The only tool in my kit worth owning is probably the hammer; the pin tools for removing band pins are fantastically cheap and more or less oversized for most of the pin holes on my bands. All of my pin tools are now either bent or broken (the blue plastic pin remover is also broken). Unfortunately the list goes on...the knife is very soft metal and burred after a few watches. The screwdrivers are a joke as is the tweezer, the spring bar remover looks like a child ground the 'U'-end so it doesn't grab the bar properly. It's much posing no difficulty to go to a good hardware store and buy some little drill bits and make your own pin tools---just use hardwood dowels for the handles--and buy a heap of good tweezers, screwdrives, and numerous new smooth pliers, and you'll have a far better set of tools than this junk!

Watch tools quality and usability.
By Tera-Ram
These tools look just like the higher quality tools available from respective watch manufactures and retailers, but they are not just like the higher quality tools.
Very cheaply made. Barely usable to size a band.
The micro Phillips screwdriver stripped out on the firstborn undertake to use.
One of the pin punches bent double on the firstborn undertake to use it. Lucky there are three of them.
Don't let the low price fool you, remunerate the extra $10 for the real professional watch tool set.

Just As Good as Swiss Made
By shutterbug
I had actually only ordered the kit for the plastic watch band link remover. I have a Invicta Diver's Watch Model #5017 which closely resembles the Rolex model. I in truth take my time at doing things tardily and correctly. However, it took me less than ten minutes to push out four link pins with the link remotion tool. It is that easy. Simply, line up the top of the pins with the pin remover and conservatively turn possibly in regards to three revolutions and without any delay it comes out. Note that this Invicta watch had pins with bogus screw slots on one side which made me even more careful. However, this proved to be for ornamental purposes only since the pins themselves resembled tiny cotter pins which is basically a piece of wire folded in the middle. I even applied the knife case opener on my wife's twenty year old seiko with equivalent success. Again, this stuff is not Swiss made but in my opinion is a good starter kit which gets the work done correctly. The cash I saved may be used for more highpriced tools must I determine to choose watch fix as a second career. Also check out the microtools website. You will be astonished with their broad product line and offerings.
