Watch Band Pin Remover with 3 Extra Pins

Comment: The pin remover works perfectly. It took me about 4-5 minutes to remove three links from a metal watch band. It worked perfectly. Make sure that you align the instrument pin accurately with the band pin, and simply screw in the instrument pin. Also make sure that you align the instrument pin with the side of the watch pin that is marked (usually with an arrow indicating the direction in which the pin is to be moved.) The base of the instrument (on which the band rests) is spring loaded so one can align easily and center the instrument pin on the band pin. Soon after I completed three link removals, I worked on another watch...just as perfectly.

Notice that the same instrument just as easily is used for re-inserting the pins in place after the required links have been removed.

Highly recommended, easiest to use.

Comment: I was barely able to re-install the link pin before the installation pin broke. I need to remove one more link but lack of instructions leave me with a useless tool. I should have done more research on tools of this type before I bought this.
There has to be a more "professional grade" pin removal tool out there (even if it costs more) . No watchmaker would be saddled with such a inadequate piece of equipment

Comment: Not good for wider bands, but great for quick fixes for the narrower ones. Worht the small investment. It saves a bundle on band repairs.

Comment: Works very well, and the price is reasonable. Comes with spare plunger heads, which is useful since the forces can easily break them if not aligned perfectly.

Comment: I went through the watch band pin removal process twice before: one time it was manual process involving all regular (non-watch) tools I could find, the other time it was trip to the mall to use the service of jewelry/watch repair shop. The first method required way too much time, the second - way too much money.
This little tool costs less than a mall shop service fee and lets you do the job much faster (and much easier) than with household tools.
But beware: be gentle and turn the screw that pushes the pin slowly to avoid breakage. Have small pliers handy to remove the band pin (the tool will not push it all the way out in case of medium to wide bands). Small hammer would also be helpful once you remove link(s) and want to push band pin in place (being gentle helps again).
The only thing I would improve in this tool is the spring-loaded pad on which band rests: it would be nice if you could lock it one position for the time of the entire removal process. Watchmakers should have their hands steady enough, but regular folks may have problems with holding the band completely motionless.
