How to Use Your Essential Watch Tools
1. Sizing a Metal Bracelet
Place your watch in the Watch Case Holder to keep it stable. Align the Link Remover with the arrows on the back of your bracelet links. Slowly twist the remover to push the friction pin out. Once sized, use the Watch Hammer to gently tap the pin back into place.
2. Swapping to a New Strap
Want to switch to a premium sailcloth or nylon strap? Take the forked end of your Spring Bar Tool and slide it between the watch lug and the strap to compress the spring bar. Gently pull the strap away. To install the new strap, compress the bar and slide it back into the lug holes until you hear a satisfying *click*.
Pro Tip: Protect Your Timepieces
Always work in a well-lit area. When dealing with premium polished or brushed cases, consider using our Silicone Work Mat. It prevents tools and screws from rolling off the table and provides a soft, anti-scratch surface so the face of your watch remains pristine while you work on the caseback. When installing NATO-style straps, remember to fold the excess tail back neatly under the metal keepers for a secure, low-profile fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this kit work for all watch brands?
Yes, our watch band replacement tools and case openers are highly adjustable and designed to work with the vast majority of microbrands and luxury timepieces alike.
Is it safe to change my own watch battery?
Absolutely. With the included watch case holder and adjustable case opener, you can safely remove the caseback to swap out quartz batteries without scratching the metal.
Why are the screwdrivers anti-magnetic?
Magnetism is the enemy of a mechanical watch movement. Using anti-magnetic tools ensures that you won't accidentally magnetize the hairspring if you are working near the exposed movement.

The kit comes with essential backup parts, including 7 extra spring bar tool tips, spare pins for the link remover, and a variety of replacement spring bars for your watch lugs.
