Coyaho Watch Link Remover Kit, Watch Band Tool Link Removal Tool Watch Pin Removal Tool Watch Sizing Tool, Watch Band Link Remover with 12 Extra Punch Pins

I have had to do this job with a tiny punch before and that was awful. Bought a new Invicta diving watch with pins for the bracelet and needed to remove links. The bracelet had arrows indicating the direction to push them out and this tool did not struggle at all to do so. Also used it to press them back in at the end just past the bracelet face. The only part of this tool that is worthless is the depth wheel in the bed of the tool. It could not be adjusted high enough. I just used some cardboard to shim the link upward to meet the pressing pin.

Patience Is You Friend! Needed a Pin-Press to adjust the length of a stainless-steel watch bracelet. Found lots a complaints online about the toylike quality of this item (regardless of brand). There is no dearth of negative reviews critical of bent pins (while using the device), many with photos as proof. Nevertheless, the press worked perfectly for me without bending a single pushpin. Now, if ya don’t have the patience to read the following and heed my instructions, then ya very likely don’t have the patience to size yer bracelet. In that case, just take it to a jeweler and save yerself some grief. Otherwise, ‘Happy Tweaking’! First Things First 1. Accept the reality of low quality and keep that in mind while working with it (it’s a watchmaker’s tool chest staple). 2. Do not use the thumbwheel adjustable platform it will wobble wildly. 3. Instead use shims (I used cardboard). 4. It is important to align the Pin-Press pushpins with the bracelet pins, but it doesn’t need to be perfectly level. 5. It is much more important to ensure that the 2-pins make direct contact inside the bracelet pin clearance hole. 6. Extract pins only in the direction of the bracelet’s arrows. 7. locking end). Bonus Heads-Up The Pin-Press screw down push-wheel captures the replaceable pushpins with a screw down collar. Back the collar off a little to shorten the length of the pushpin. A shorter length will increase its strength. Extraction Process (trial and error—be patient—go slow—with a light touch) 1. Be sure the bracelet arrows are pointing away from the pushpin. 2. Push only in the same direction as the arrows. 3. Using shims & the screw down push-wheel, align pushpin with bracelet pin (get it close as ya can, just shy of touching). 4. When ya feel comfortable, center the pushpin over the bracelet pin , and then screw it down just to touch. 5. Check the alignment again. 6. If it looks good, very lightly and slowly screw it down. 7. Get any resistance—Stop and readjust. 8. When the pushpin and bracelet pin are properly aligned it will be a smooth extraction. 9. Once the fat end of the bracelet pin is visible ya got it. 10. After that, all ya need is fingers, tweezers, or pliers. Reinsertion Process 1. Fat end of the bracelet pin on your end. 2. Do Not put fat end in first and then push toward the arrows’ point. 3. Small pin end goes into the bracelet first. 4. Push toward the arrows’ point until it is flush with the bracelet 5. Use the Pin-Press only to perfect any desired final tweaks.

I bought this to remove a link from the watch band on a new Fossil smartwatch. The tool works as advertised. You have to be reasonably careful to keep the watch band perpendicular to the mechanism; if you can do that it works well enough. The 3 stars on ease of use are because it is touchy to line up the watch band and there aren't any guides that help or hold the band in place. Also, the tool is small and doesn't have anything to mount to a tabletop to stabilize (a suction cup would be sufficient). You need a fair bit of dexterity to line things up and still have free fingers to turn the wheel. Again, though, once you get it lined up removing a link is straightforward. I do overall recommend it.

I had eight watches (mine, my wife's, and my father-in-laws) that needed battery replacement. As a result of the COVID 19 restrictions my jewelry store was closed so I bought a kit to allow me to do it myself. All YouTube videos showing how to do this recommended opening up the watch band to make the back of the watch more accessible. I thought I could just do it leaving the band fully connected. WRONG. So I bought this tool and it made that step in the process SO MUCH easier. Obviously if you are adding or taking out links this is also the way to go.

The tool worked well to remove the pin from my watch. However, the screw adjustment does not go up high enough to align the bit with the pin in the watchband. The problem with this is that you need to hold the watch band and the tool while trying to align the pin, and then turn the wheel at the same time. It didn't align well because the adjustment wheel doesn't go high enough without falling out, which caused the bit to bend while I tried to push the pin back in the watch band after removing a link. This is probably why it comes with so many extra bits. Don't be deceived by the pictures. The tool is about the size of a man's thumb. However, for $6 it cost 1/3 what a jeweler was going to charge to remove one link from my watch, so it is worth the price.

I needed to remove a link and didn’t feel like paying $40 to ask a pro to do it. Have to do this slow and have a small jewelry plier and metal nail file just in case. Because my watch band is made of ceramic, I taped a piece of felt the same size as the circular platform base so to not scratch the band. The platform moves up and down depending on how thick the band is so the pin can push out parallel to the table. If you do not do this the pin will bend. You also have to hold down the band. Just screw the pinhead slowly to push out the pin in the in the band. Make sure to push in the direction of the arrow on back of the watch links. My pin was tight so I had to use plier to pull it out. I used a tip of the metal nail file to push the pin back into the link. :)

It works if you are Very Careful. The little circle platform to raise the band inline with the tool is very rough in it's adjustment. I wish they had machined the raising screw to a tighter tolerance. it's Sloppy

It was missing parts and could not use it what I purchased it to do
