Very good tool Jun 19, 2007 By Derek
It's surprising what a nice wood case and well-built tool you get for the price. The box is held closed magnetically. To keep the extra pins in place you will want to put a little cloth or something over them before closing the case.

I've been wanting to open my watch for a while. Somehow the jeweler I took it to couldn't open it. A watch repair guy wanted a ridiculous amount of money just to open it (still baffling me). I opened it within a few minutes of taking this tool out of the box.

Fairly simple process. As another reviewer mentioned, the pins need to be fully inserted into the tool. It comes with variously shaped pins to match different watches. I picked the three that have a squarish tip. You align these three pins with three of the six notches around the edge of the back plate. Adjustment to fit the watch is smooth and easy. With the pins sitting in the notches, you can unscrew it like a jar lid. I found I needed to hold the watch against my carpet floor to start. Very simple but very hard to do without the precise fitting of this tool. I found it very helpful for putting the back plate back on too, because it's otherwise hard to hold the plate on, flat, and aligned while screwing it in. Using the tool gives enough control to do it gently and carefully without scratching it or cross-threading (go slow and careful, though). The instructions were not especially helpful, but not really necessary either. It's not much more complicated than using a socket set or a crescent wrench.

Have a paper towel when you open it, because it comes lightly oiled in its plastic bag. I recommend opening your watch in a place where any tiny pieces falling out won't get lost.

I will need to find a replacement gasket for my watch. The one that came out has expanded.

Not perfect, but worth $14. Jan 14, 2007 By S. Kosloske
I can't give it 5 stars, it's not perfect.

I have a lot of watch tools, and this is a nice one. The case is nice, and it works as it should.

But, again, it's not perfect. The pins don't stay in, making it harder to use (you have to use it upside down, and the pins don't lock in). And there should be instructions for those who don't know exactly how to use it. The little half-sheet that is included is all but useless.

But it's a great deal for the price. Easily opens the notch-back cases I use it on.

Works as advertised Jul 02, 2006 By Troy E. Forbes "Troy E. Forbes"
This tool is solidly constructed. It comes with an assortment of attachments and adjustable configurations for different types or brands of watches. It comes wrapped in a sturdy protective wooden box. The tool was a little greasy / oily when I received it in the mail which I found to be a little unusual, but understandable from a preservation perspective. It's a good tool. Get this one!

This tool works Mar 11, 2007 By JS
I was able to replace a battery in my watch. It didn't come with any instructions. I experienced some of the same problems other reviewers had with the bits being loose and falling out, but I discovered you have to push them into the sockets hard. They were snug after that. Then you have to adjust the tool to fit the slots on your watch. Hold the watch in one hand. Turn left to loosen the back, then right to tighten. It came in a nice wooden box.

The O-Ring Gets Silicone... Apr 03, 2008 By plasticlizard
Awhile back my watch battery died so I needed a new one. I remembered seeing a quick repair shop for watches at the mall so off I went. When I got there I asked the man if he could replace my watch battery and he said yes and to return in ten minutes it would be ready. So I handed him my watch and went window shopping for a few. I returned some time later and picked it up.

A few days later I got to thinking "what kind of condition is the o-ring in and did it need any lubrication?". After a few more days of wondering I said to myself "I have to find out!!!" Looking at the back of the watch I noticed I would need a special kind of tool to remove the back. So I got on the internet and after searching for a bit found one with good reviews. After nine dollars plus shipping and a couple days of waiting it came in the mail.

Now I was ready and it was time to inspect the o-ring. As I was getting everything together I had a chance to inspect the case opener tool.

The case tool also comes with four different keys that fit four different casebacks. I easily figuring out which ones would fit mine so I proceeded to put them into the case opener tool itself. The keys snapped perfectly in place. Very similar to a wrench and socket but reverse. No matter what position the wrench is in the keys will not fall out.

After unscrewing the caseback I noticed right away that the o-ring was bone dry!

Good thing I had some silicone in the garage.

I lubricated the o-ring and cleaned up the areas that would come in contact with the o-ring.

I put the o-ring back in it's rightful place and gave the caseback a few turns with my hand until it seated. I gave the caseback a snug fit with the caseback tool but not too tight!

Now the o-ring is lubricated and in good shape making the watch truly waterproof.

Mission Accomplished!

If I had to rate the watch caseback tool I would have to give it 5 out 5. It works as advertised and well worth the money. If your interested in lubricating o-rings or putting new batteries in your watch then this tool is for you.
