SE Watch Link Remover Tool with 5 Extra Pins - DIY Bracelet & Watch Adjustments, Blue - JT6305A

Works well, adequate quality for price and usage
I have often reduced the size of my stainless steel watchbands in the past, using a fine-pointed punch and needle-nose pliers. But that way has minor risks. I don't want the hassle (or minor cost) of having a jeweler do this for me. So I've just used this tool to quickly, easily and without risk of damaging the band to re-size a band with round pins holding the links together.This is easy to use and easy to avoid bending the tool's pin by simply aligning the tool-pin with the small hole the watchband pin sets in. Do this by feel before you tighten-down the tool and the watchband pin pops out easily into a slot in the tool. You can't really see to align the pin, so you have to do it by feel.Quality of this product is crude and it's clunky looking, but it does its job effectively and is a lot less hassle than taking the watch to a jeweler. Also it comes with five extra pins, which I now realize I'm unlikely to need.This tool does not seem to fit or work on Casio bands that use wide, flat "pins" to hold the links together.The quality is good enough to accomplish its job and its very inexpensive. Just line the pins up by feel and you'll do fine.

SE Link Remover Tool DOES WORK
I recently received this tool despite all of the negative reviews written about it. It is sturdy plastic, not flimsy like some of the reviews said. This is not a precision instrument; it is made in China and costs $3.25, but it does work exactly as promised. It is true that it does not come with instructions, but you don't need any. It's pretty simple: lay your watch band in the tool, line up the pin in the tool with the pin in your watch band, turn the handle until the pin in the tool pushes out the pin in the watch band. As you turn the handle, the pin in the tool DOES wobble, so make sure the pins line up as the tool begins to make contact with the pin in the watch band. You will need a good light as the pins are very small and hard to see. A magnifier would help, but I was able to change two watch bands without one. Just remember to put your watch band in the tray properly. My watch had arrows in the inside to illustrate which way the pins should be pushed out. I don't know why others had such bad experiences with this. Take your time, and it will work fine. Changing one watch band more than pays for the price of the tool. It also comes with extra pins (for the tool, not your watch bands), an indication that the manufacturer knows that pins will break occasionally. I'm glad I bought this, and I recommend it to others.

piece of sh*t
Ok first off I have a Nixon 51-30 and a Nixon player that I needed to resize. All in all I was eventually able to do it but let me tell you what's wrong with this retarded piece of cheap, cheap plastic.FIrst of all when you put the watch band in the empty space and then you twist the knob on the right with the small screw end, it is supposed to poke into the actual hole of the watch as you screw in. It works ok, BUT ONLY if you are DEAD ON. Problem with this is, if you put it in the empty space, YOU CANT EVEN SEE IT FROM THE TOP OR THE SIDES. You basically are trying to screw into the hole to pop out the pin, but are unable to see it. I scratched the side of my watch attempting this multiple times for each hole until I got it right.That was just for my smaller watch. My Nixon 51-30 is admittedly a very large watch. However the band itself wouldn't even fit into the band slot. I had to completely remove the screw part of this and do it all myself manually. I grabbed a hammer and smacked the end of it (which is extremely flimsy and loose by the way) It took so many tries the actual metal for this thing was bending because it kept flopping around everywhere. I was again finally able to pop out the pins and back in but only with a sacrifice. IN the many, MANY attempts it took, I scratched the shizz out of my watch and regret it. Go find a real toolkit, I would give this thing zero stars because it will definitely damage your watch in the process!!! DO NOT TRY!! I WARN YOU!!

I figured it out!
I was somewhat cautious about buying this item because of the incredibly polarized reviews. Either it worked really well or not at all, it seemed, but the price was right so I figured I would give it a shot.It worked not at all. I broke the vast majority of the remover pins trying to remove one link from my watch. Yes, I was following the arrows and pushing in the correct direction, and no amount of times reading that advice changed that it just didn't seem to work. I started to wonder if maybe my watch just had really resistant pins.About 8 months later, I got a new watch and decided to try it again. This time, it occurred to me to try it with the band facing the other way--in other words, not with the watch face up, but face down. This, I think, must be the key problem that people are having because when I last perused the reviews, NO ONE was mentioning this. Everyone focuses on the obvious solution of following the arrows, but no one pays much attention to the direction the band is facing. I went back and tried it again using this method on the first watch and it worked there too.So make sure you have the face facing down, and line it up as best you can. Apply a little bit of pressure and some of the pin should start poking out. If it does not, undo the pressure and re-align it. It shouldn't take much, and you do risk breaking the remover pins.EDIT: Okay it also seems that some pins are more obstinate on others. On the first watch I mentioned, which is cheaper (though i'm not sure if quality has anything to do with it), I could only get a couple of the pins out (yes i was only trying the ones marked with arrows). The rest wouldn't move.

Did the trick
Let's not kid ourselves - this is not a precision instrument we're dealing with, and should not be evaluated as such. The handle is poorly cast, which means the twisting action is far from smooth. The height adjustment was frozen. However, it still worked like a treat with my Citizen Eco-Drive watch. No pin pushers were bent or even in danger of bending, and I had no problems lining up the pins, though I was working mostly by feel. This item worked as advertised, and is excellent value for the money.

Don't fidddle around get this handy little device!
Removing links from watch bracelets can be time consuming and fiddly. Not anymore with this handy little device which does the job for you.Once you have accurately lined up the device's pin mechanism with the pins in your bracelet, it really is a sinch. Why pay a jeweller up to a pound a link to remove them for you when this does it for you?

Save you Money!
SAVE YOUR MONEY!! This is the worst product I have ever purchased. Where do I start?1. The blue coloring of the apparatus rubs all off leaving your hands stained blue.2. The handle holding the needle is poorly made. The whole handle fell apart & cannot be put back.3. The needles bend & break off easily. I had one needle where the tip stayed lodged in my watch breaking off from the needle stem. And another one that bent on the first try.4. The aparatus does not hold the bracelet of the watch in place securely, your bracelet stays loose causing you to be the one to hold the watch in place.I would not even give this product 1 start but had to in order to make a comment and warn you! Pure garbage.
