Watch Repair Tool Kit with Strong Storage Case, Microfibre Cleaning Towel and Full Step By Step Instructions (16 pieces)

Rather than spend the money to have a local jeweler re-size my watches bracelet, I got this kit to allow me to do one watch now and who-knows-how-many in the future. It's not a trivial job, but it is doable -- particularly if YouTube videos are also consulted to assist in understanding how to go about the job. The tools aren't high precision and look like they'd damage relatively easily if you try to use them roughly -- but if you realize that you're working on a watch and treat it/them with care, they'll work OK. I pulled 3 links and relocated one of them without too much difficulty.I don't think that I'd go so far as to say that the kit plus the instructions put you on a path to a career as a watchmaker... If you pull the back off your automatic mechanical (i.e., self-winding) watch and start unscrewing parts, I'd probably recommend having (1) a bag to collect the parts before you toss them away, and (2) a new or spare watch to use in lieu of the one that was the source of parts. But it you just want to have a little fun showing kids what watches used to look like before quartz movements came in, or if you want to replace a battery in a quartz watch that you might not be crushed if it never ran again, this kit should be perfect for you.

I'm forever losing loose watch/jewelry tools so it's nice to have everything needed in a thoughtfully laid out and compact watch repair tool kit. I do wish a 1.0 mm and 1.3 mm magnetized flat head screwdriver had been substituted for the Phillips head driver for those really small screws many watch bracelet removable links call for, but I already had them so just added to the kit.Overall, I was impressed with the build quality of the tools included in this kit - I've already done some work on two older Omega Seamaster bracelets and the pin pushers, made from good quality steel, coupled with the nice included jewelers hammer, made short work of the problem. Haven't had the need to open a case yet, but the case-back opener looks up to the task as well.All in all, I'm very pleased with this kit... and the price, at below $16.00, is outstanding. Get yourself a few small magnetized flathead screw drivers you'll be good to go.(If you're a diver, don't forget the yearly seal replacement and pressure test to confirm water resistance)

I had to put a new battery in my wife's cheap Timex. Using this kit I was able to use the included knife tool to get the back off BUT I was not able to get the back cover back on the watch. The watch requires a press for that so the kit is missing one crucial piece. I threw my wife's Timex in the trash. In this instance my buying the kit was a waste of money. The tools in the kit seem just fine and the knife was especially durable. I thought it would break because the back cover was really hard to get off. The knife did not break. It worked just fine. I also used to the adjustment tool that is used for the back covers that have the 2 slots. I was able to take the back cover off my watch easily with that. Originally before (before buying the kit) I tried putting a small flat blade screwdriver and using a small hammer to try and tap the cover in a counterclockwise motion to get the cover off. It didn't budge and I didn't want to damage the watch. With the tool I was able to take the watch back cover off easily !

5 Star for the price range. I am sure there are higher quality tools out there and this works on 95% of watches, of course there are always custom tools available for the rare situation you need more than this kit offers. Appreciate the carrying case that keeps it all organized.I recently bought a Samsung Gear S3, which I LOVE. I bought several bands for this new watch, most were quick release silicon bands, but one very nice ceramic band needed to remove a few links. It was going to cost me between $10 and $20 locally to have someone do it for me at a shop so I decided it would also be nice to have a tool that would help me easily remove the band from the watch too. So I did some research and bought this kit. I have no regrets, even if i bought only the tools I needed individually, I would have saved only $5 and had loose tools lying around asking to get misplaced. The kit is all in one convenient place.

Everything in the kit seemed to be new and of decent quality especially for the price. The case is great to have to keep everything together. My issue is with the needle nose pliers. They are in awful condition and appear to be a factory default, see pictures. One side is rounded over with no teeth and the other isn't much better. I have several needle-nose pliers from my other tools I can use but if you don't make sure to check everything in the kit carefully.

Complete Kit - all the instruments are solidly made. I'm a beginner in watch servicing - have too many of them, so I figured I better learn how to do simple tasks like battery replacement. Most kits on Amazon seemed to have the same problem of flimsy tools. This one seems to live up to the reviews so far - the tools are solid and look like they will last for a while. Also got a great user manual as a PDF from the seller with instructions on how to use each tool. I've opened only a couple of watches so far and replaced the battery, so take my opinion for what it's worth.

I've only had the kit a few days now, but have already used it several times to replace bands on my Gear S3 that either do not have spring bar pins with the bands or to resize watch bands that were too big. In both cases, the tools that came with the kit worked perfectly! Solid construction and so far all the tools are in the kit that I've needed. I can't speak to the longevity of the product at this point, but not being a watch repair pro, this is set that any DIY'er can use and to repair watches at home.
