Quick and easy tool February 19, 2006 34 out of 37 found this review helpful
Great deal! Received the item really fast. Lowest priced link remover on the market. Very easy to change links on the band. Self-explanatory use. Insert the band, line up the pin hole, and twist to push out the pin. Worked with every watch I had.
Only need to pay attention to the direction of the pin. The pins in bands have a specific direction. Most bands have an arrow pointing the direction the pin moves, thus you should be pushing downward when the arrow is pointing down (away from band). If pushing in the wrong direction, then pin will never move and break the tool. Anybody with common sense can see that. Suspect previous reviewer was pushing in wrong direction.
Nice to have around... March 25, 2007 22 out of 23 found this review helpful
Just keep in mind it's mainly only used for getting the pins out to the point where you can work with them using a good set of pliers. Saved me quite a bit of time and money spent going to a jeweler for sizing several watches as I gain and lose weight. Has worked every time for me...
As the last reviewer said, look for directional arrows on the band showing which way the pins should travel, both on the way out and on the way in.
The maximum band width that will fit in the tool is 15/16". People have complained about the limitation, but haven't posted exactly how wide a band this tool will work with. If you're handy, this plastic tool could be cut or ground to accept wider bands.
Do a search for a place called Widget Supply that sells this tool for a little less and also includes 5 extra pins. They shipped mine very quickly.
waste of money January 20, 2006 12 out of 19 found this review helpful
I recieved this item on time but with no instructions on how to use it. I did not think it would be a problem since it looks self explanatory. I attempted to use it on two different watches and at both sides of the pin (no arrow on the bands I had), I was unable to apply enough pressure to push the pin out of either. My husband attempted to use it and on the second attempt the end of the device bent and broke off. The plastic construction was poor quality and apparently so was the twist tool itself.....save your money.....it may pay for itself with 2 uses but you may not be able to get even 1 use out of it.
Broke March 6, 2007 6 out of 13 found this review helpful
The product pretty much snapped in half while I was trying to remove two links from one watch. The other one I tried before this one didn't fit in the adjustment piece at all. So with that said, do not buy this product at all. It's very poorly made and terribly annoying to use. Instructions are very unclear. I ended up throwing it away and going to a watch shop to get it fixed.
Ok for the price i suppose June 11, 2007 6 out of 7 found this review helpful
First, I'll just say that no one could truthfully refer to this product "heavy duty." It's cheap, low quality plastic obviously intended for extremely light use. Instructions might as well have not existed.
That said, the item performed acceptably given the price. Successfully resized the bands in 2 Fossils without much of a problem. I expected the tool to shatter each time I used it, but didn't. Saved me a trip to the store and only cost me $9. So I guess it's worth it.
I just don't think the title's reflective of the item, so had to take away a star. Lost another star for bad instructions and generally bad workmanship.
