 Just As Good as Swiss Made June 20, 2008

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 really take my time at doing things slowly and correctly. However, it took me less than ten minutes to push out four link pins with the link removal tool. It is that easy. Simply, line up the top of the pins with the pin remover and carefully turn maybe about three revolutions and instantly it comes out. Note that this Invicta watch had pins with fake screw slots on one side which made me even more careful. However, this proved to be for decorative purposes only since the pins themselves resembled tiny cotter pins which is essentially a piece of wire folded in the middle. I even used the knife case opener on my wife's twenty year old seiko with equal success. Again, this stuff is not Swiss made but in my opinion is a good starter kit which gets the work done correctly. The money I saved can be used for more expensive tools should I decide to choose watch repair as a second career. Also check out the microtools website. You will be amazed with their extensive product line and offerings.
Fruitful and indispensable watch tool August 28, 2008

The product arrived promptly. Ordered on Sunday was surprised to see it in mailbox on Wednesday. Already opened two watches for battery replacement and shortened two chainlinks. The watch replacement and chain-link fixing is at least five each in our neighborhood. So I think the tool has already paid for itself and saved the trouble to go to the stores. The nearby Meijer store used to replace the battery at no charge but has stopped doing that lately. I do not have any expensive waterproof watches with screwed backs so I have not used that tool. But all the other tools came in very handy.
The tool quality seems fine. No instructions. So I had to figure out. I guess these tools are meant for people who know what they are doing. Learning was not difficult. By the time I reached the third watch, I knew fairly well how to use them. May be I am a slow learner.
I wish the tools had a storage box that came along, but no big deal. Next trip to Dollar Tree should solve that.
The candies were included in my shipment too like an earlier review had mentioned. Kind of reminded me of the old time neighborhood stores. Rather pleasant.
Useful tools at a great price. Stop complaining. February 19, 2010

I've read many reviews on this item and as I can understand many people are not as careful or patient when using the "cheap" tools. The pins that break will eventually break after a couple of uses. The pin for the watchband link pin remover bent when trying to remove a pin because I didn't line it up straight. I carefully bent it back and used it 3 more times. It's still working so if you broke it you weren't patient or careful enough. They are delicate items regardless if they are expensive or not. I fixed 7 watches (4 Kenneth Cole, 1 Invicta and 2 Fossil for my wife) all with success and no tools or pins were broken. I changed the length of the metal bands and changed batteries easily and with no problems. The tools I used were the watchband link pin remover, watchband holder, thee spring bar remover, the 3 Pin punches (all different size pins), the metal and plastic hammer and the case knife opener. The other tools are just extras for an "as needed" basis. So for this price it's definitely worth the money. If you're impatient, careless and really don't know what you're doing then don't purchase this item. Pay for a watchmen ($6 minimum) to do the job for you......so then you can then complain about the amount you're paying for one watch to be serviced.
Very good tool, just use it the right way May 2, 2010

This is a very good tool, I've read all the other reviews and was worried about the cheap built and easy breakage as some mentioned, however, there were some other reviews praising about how excellent and very good it is.
Usually, when there are mixed review, I move away from the product, but there was one review that grabbed my attention and mentioned you should be careful when using it and it will work perfectly, and I'm that kind of person.
Long story short, I ordered it and used it to change three batteries for cheap and expensive watches and also resize the bracelet of TAG watch :), it worked perfectly and nothing broke.
I would recommend this tool if you are careful guy of using your tools.
Great value. February 19, 2010

My family used to own a jewelry store. Naturally, I worked there quite a bit to help out my folks. I'm a tinkerer, always messing around with tools and stuff so I was always playing around with the toys (tools) and taking apart old watches, etc.
I had my skepticism when I ordered this $10 set. I ordered them because I had to adjust a nice and expensive watch that my brother got me for my birthday. If these tools were of poor quality, I wasn't going to use them on the watch just in case the watch got damaged.
It worked quite nicely. The reason that I mentioned the jewelry store above is for comparison of the tools. While these are nowhere near the quality of the expensive tools that my folks used at the store, they got the job done. Nothing broke. Some of the pieces in this set can be used around the house for other purposes, too.
For $10, I think it's a great value.
