BUREI Professional 13 Piece Watch Repair Tool Kit Watchband Link Pin Remover

Great little tool kit. I gave it 4 stars for lack of instructions on some of the tools. I mainly wanted this to change watch batteries and resize watch bands. Have changed a couple of batteries and resized a couple of watch bands. Works great for this.

I purchased the BUREI 13-Piece Watch Repair Tool Kit with Watchband Link Pin Remover because I needed to replace a battery in a Men's Fossil watch and, truthfully, was tired of paying $10-$15 to have new watchbands resized. I also realized the DIY-rig approach wasn't the best either after the first time I removed a couple links myself with a clamp, a cloth wrapped around the clamp, a thumbtack, a small hammer, and a pair of needle-nosed pliers, and scratched the band a few times. Based on using a couple tools in the kit, here's what I experienced, so far.Pros: All items included are listed in the product description. The nylon zippered case, which was gift-ready in a nice cellophane bag, is quality -- well-stitched, inside and out. The same goes for the elastic straps that fit each tool, and arrange them in the case, perfectly. The link remover, adjustable case opener, watch case opener, and watch case holder were individually wrapped in plastic -- true attention to detail and care for the product. The pins come in their own cylindrical case. The quality of the tools is on-par with what you'd find at Harbor Freight. This is not a con in this price range. Tool movements aren't liquid-smooth, but they work well enough for my needs and suffice, given the price. While I haven't had a reason to use it, the springbar remover is nice. It has two roughed surface areas that allow you to grasp the remover with no trouble. No longer will I have to use my Swiss Army knife to remove those things and swear each time I get the springbar out, only to have it pop right back in. The pin removers are nice too. Each also has a roughed exterior for anti-slip grip. The watch holder adjusts via use of a wingnut. The one side has a recessed area to account for the winding mechanism. The other uses to adjustable "pins" you can move to different locations on the one side of the holder. The link remover worked perfectly and the removable brass pin it uses seems strong enough for many uses. The wrench has two adjuster screws to accommodate different watch backings. You can easily adjust pin locations by turning one of the two black screws. The one at the top moves the top two in or out simultaneously. The screw at the bottom moves the bottom screw up and down. Again, the wrench also has a roughed handle for grip.Cons: There were two big cons for me. First, while the wrench worked, it wasn't quite large enough to completely get all three pins to latch on to my Fossil Grant Stainless Steel FS4734 watch backing. Two points was enough to get the job done, but all the wrench needed was another half a millimeter of extension on the two upper points. The other con, which is more nit-picky than anything is that all the pins (while the work) left a black film on my fingers, sort of like graphite when you rub pencil markings in a sketchbook or the coating you'd find on cheaper tools. The pins seem sturdy enough though, so, no biggie.Recommended Purchase?: Do I recommend purchasing this repair kit? You betcha. I can't assume for a moment this is a set a true watchmaker would use. However, for the average Joe or Jane looking to save some cash on trips to a jeweler, watch repair kiosk, and/or battery shop -- or to help a friend/family member in need of simple watch repairs -- definitely, you can't go wrong with this set and will be glad you bought it. It sure beats the hassle of making simple watch repairs much harder by not having the right tools. Trust me, I know from experience.Disclaimer: I don't work for the company for whom I wrote this product review.

This kit is ok but coul be better. It doesn't come with any instructions so some of the items are a challenge to use, this resulted in me bending the point on the piece you use to take the loops out of the watch bands to size them. That's the sole reason I got this item and now I can't even use it. The small screw drivers are ok and perhaps someday I'll have a need for them.

great set, has every thing I need

Great!

This kit is okay if you use it once in a while. The tools are pretty cheap so don't expect long lasting high end stuff. Also don't use these tools on any high end watches.I received this product at a discount in exchange for a review.

The tools are not the greatest of quality but they function exactly as advertised. The metal is machined poorly and a lot of the tools are cheap plastic. One of the bands in the case used to hold the tools broke right away when taking it out. I wouldn't recommend using them on any expensive watches. Well I wound't recommend using any watch repair tools on expensive watches unless you are experienced in doing so. If you have a few broken quartz watches and want to learn on using watch repair tools I would definitely recommend this. I wanted a cheap kit just for that reason. When I got them I used them right away to replace a battery and resize a watch band. Just doing this one time pays for the price of the kit, which would cost $20 plus dollars. Keep in mind that they don't come with instructions to use any of the tools, that is up to the user, but youtube is a great resource for this.Disclosure: I was given the opportunity to test this item and present my honest and unbiased reviews to assist others in making (or avoiding) purchases. I purchased this product at a discount or for free in exchange for my honest review. The sellers only asks that I give my honest opinion and neither require nor reward positive feedback, nor punish negative feedback. I hope the information I have presented helps you to make an informed decision.

As of right now the precision screw driver are weak and falling apart, the tip easily broke and the twist remover doesn't fit in the back of invicta watch. I assume it's a universal tool but i found out that it's too small for bigger watches
