SE Link Remover Tool

Comment: This item works very well. Yes it is plastic and it is inexpensive. But if you align the pin remover with the pin it will remove the pin with ease. I used it on 3 cheap Fossil watches, an Invicta watch, a Seiko watch and a Timex Ironman watch all within the first 15 minutes from opening the package. One review complained about where to store the extra pins. Store them under the base plate that is removable. Works great.

Comment: Product arrived quickly and I was able to remove the links I needed within minutes

Comment: I purchased this recently in order to be able to resize a newly purchased Invicta watch. It worked like a charm. Before using you should make sure you're lining the pin up on the correct side of the band. And you should have a very strong pair of reading glasses to line the pin up exactly. There's a reason you see those huge magnifiers in watch shops. If you don't have the pin lined up exactly it will bend and break, it's that simple.

Comment: This product is made of cheap plastic but works very nice to pull the watch pins. If you do not abuse this product, it should last quite some time.

Comment: Having never had to remove links from a watch before, I was not sure what to expect. This tool was shoddy but I was able to get the job done using it.

PROS
- it got the job done
- extremely cheap price

CONS
- tool was not wide enough for the clamp area of my watch, had to remove the vice and do that link by hand
- bits broke very easily
- the vice was wobbly and hard to control - you have to be very careful to not accidentally scratch your watch
- no instructions included, had to get on-line to learn how to use it

This comes with 6 bits that are used to poke out the pins on your band. They are designed to break when you use excessive pressure according to the tutorial site. Well, good it came with six because I went through 3 of them when sizing just one watch band. At that rate I will be able to do one more sizing in the future and then have to throw this thing in the trash.

It was very time consuming and difficult to remove the pins using this tool - I spent close to a hour screwing with this tonight. While I was able to finish the job, next time I need to do this I would seriously consider saving the headache and just taking my watch to a jeweler.
