Product Description
TWO (2) Extra Pins Included. Manufactured to strict quality standards this link remover is the best heavy duty twist movement tool to remove stubborn watch links. Most link removers use a small handle, but this larger model makes it easier to remove links. Link remover will push the pin out, and you will need a small needle nose plier to fully pull the pin out. Simply align the pin with the tool and carefully twist tool knob to push the pin out. Watch Band Link Remover for Bracelet Adjustments Watch Watch Band Link Remover for Bracelet Adjustments. Twist design makes it easy to remove or add links to your watch band. Every watch collector needs a watch adjuster as part of their collection. Stop wasting money taking it to a jewler when you can do it yourself. It pays for itself after 2 uses and lasts for many years. Easily alter your watch at home without scratching the band. Fits most bands using a pin system to hold links together. Comes with two extra pins for replacing bent pins. Many watch bands use directional link pins, therefore you must push in the direction of the pin. Improper use of the tool will damage the pin and your tool. Please be careful when pushing the pin. It should easily slide out with some force. If you are pushing very hard and no movement, try using some lubricant like WD40 to help the pin slide out.

4 out of 5 stars A little flimsy, but still works great   January 2, 2009
Bought this so that I wouldn't have to take my new watch to a jeweler and it did the job. It's a little flimsy, so it takes some patience, but it worked fine.


1 out of 5 stars Don't Waste Your Money   December 20, 2008
I thought this product would make it easy to take a link or two from a watch Band (bracelet)...wrong! Maybe I'm not 'getting' how it works, but I can't seem to get a decent alignment between the pin remover and the pins on my watch bands.

Forget about getting anywhere near the clasp, the band grove is too narrow for some bands and too shallow for most serious men's bands.

Steer clear of this cheap, plastic product....I guess sometimes you really do get what you pay for.



3 out of 5 stars Flimsy little gadget   December 9, 2008
Considering what some jewelers charge to adjust a band, I guess you could say I'm getting my money's worth, but not without breaking the pin that came attached. It's a good thing it comes with two more. Plastic and flimsy, it gets the job done on some watches, but will bend if trying to adjust a stingy band. Should be sold with more pins.


3 out of 5 stars Dont buy from this seller !   November 11, 2008
I am writing this review for the merchant and not for the merchandise (havent even tried the merchandise but given my experience with the merchant, am not very excited about it). I ordered a very nominal amount product, the merchant charged 140% of the purchase price for shipping and still shipped the product through USPS ! Which might have been ok, but to spice it up, they also decided to put the shipping label wrong. The invoice had the correct address and the person who received it was kind enough to send it back to the invoice address (took more than 2 weeks and unnecessary trouble to a lot of people). Mistakes happen and I am ok with that, but what I dont understand is why would you charge more than the retail rate of UPS ground shipment (a lot better tracking) and still ship it via USPS parcel (hardly any useful info for tracking). I feel cheated by the merchant and I don't think I will be comfortable buying any product from this merchant in the future.




5 out of 5 stars Ok for home use   October 23, 2008
Not for the professional jeweler, but great for time to time home use.
Saves you having to make a trip to go have a watch fitted. Worth the $10
