Perfect budget kit for battery changes and band adjustments
Terrific kit. Are these watchmaker quality tools? No. If you are working in a jewelry store is this the kit you want? No. But, as someone with several watches that needed batteries changed and bands adjusted, this kit has been excellent. Quality is better than I expected at the price point and all the tools I've used in the kit have performed well for my needs. I've removed 5 casebacks with the 3 point wrench tool and/or the tiny screwdriver (you only use two of the contact points on the wrench) and changed batteries as well as worked with 4 watchbands. The tweezers are perfect for battery changes. The Seiko type band that uses the u-shaped pin rather than the singular one required additional tool (tiny stronger screwdriver to pop it out) but the included pin driver for other watch bands and the spring bar tool work great. As a caveat, doing these things (battery changes and band adjustments) is not always easy. Using too much (or too little) force will break the tools or damage your watch. More expensive tools will offer you more margin for error, but the tools in this kit are excellent for a home amateur with some experience working with small electronics or modelling. At this price point these tools are more than adequate to allow you to adjust your bands and replace your batteries. And be sure to watch a few youtube videos before trying this and use plastic to protect your caseback from scratching. Read more
