Product Description 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. Watch Band Link Remover for Bracelet Adjustments Watch Watch Band Link Remover for Bracelet Adjustments - 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.

Nice to have around, will pay for itself in the long run August 26, 2008 Before I offer more detailed analysis, essentially this worked as advertised, and I've sized two watches perfectly with this. It's nice to have, and it's already paid for itself (the Watch Hospital in Boston does excellent work, but the cost per watch makes this product quite desirable).
Now to the less appealing points: the plastic structure does suggest cheap quality and workmanship. The height-adjusting knob didn't adjust the height at all - so that element was essentially useless. To adjust the height, I used thin shims to align the watch band with the removing-pin. This may be another element that could cause a pin break: poor alignment of the watch band height to the angle of the removing pin.
It doesn't take any great pressure to remove the pins from the watch band; a little finesse is in order here. You don't need a blacksmith's touch.
Ultimately, this is a decent little unit that should work fine for you - just be prepared to exercise a little patience and a light touch, and you'll be happy with the results.
Great Product August 12, 2008 I've been looking for a tool like this for years to adjust my watches. Very easy to use.
Bad choice. August 9, 2008 If you are not a profesional do not buy this item... Not instructions avaliable... may not work with the watch you bought.... I bought one of this items and was useless..
helpful August 6, 2008 The link remover is easy to operate. It pays for itself even if used only once.
Great service and easy shopping experience July 30, 2008 I bought this for my nephew to size his graduation watch I shipped to him. The tool worked but he said it was extremely difficult to get the pins out of his Invicta watch. That may have been a testament to the fit of the band pins or the difficulty in using this tool. It was probably the watch pins because the Invicta watches usually have very tight tolerances. Shopping and shipping were excellent. Received the tool in 3 days on regular shipment.
