Quality Tool
Very well made. So far, I have used this tool for 3 watches and it worked flawlessly.I even had to tap the top of this tool with a hammer to drive the pins out of all three of the watches.The body of the tool is fairly thick aluminum but the pins are stainless steel. The pins thread into the body with fine threads that seem to hold up well under stress.I have had pin removers that bent easily in the past. These will not.

Tool needed for removing straps easily
Great tool and easy to use including a measuring tool for strap width
Long-term Review Guy –
nice tips w/ extras for the price, donât count on the ruler.
the tool is a nice length for hooking on to the spring bars to change buckles and bracelets/straps, and nice to see extra tips included. Donât count on the ruler to order your supplies. Something looked odd, and I compared it to a nice ruler a had. The toolâs 20mm is actually 21mm, and 10mm is 10.5. almost ordered wrong size strap if i didnât double check.

Much needed tool for watch enthusiasts
For years Iâve been using a pocket knife to change watch bands, usually damaging the strap, lug pins or my fingers. With this tool I can easily remove the lug pins myself, not having to pay a jeweler. The tool itself is sturdy, has extra, interchangeable bits. It also has a very handy measurement tool on millimeters to determine what size band you need. For the price, itâs well made and extremely useful.

Decent enough for the price, but broke surprisingly easily
I’ve used this to replace two different watch bands, each requiring use of both sides of the tool. My grandfather’s Hamilton’s watch band was pretty easy to replace using the Y-shaped side of the tool. Difficulties I encountered were from this being the first time I’ve ever replaced a watch band and from the watch having the same band from when my grandfather got the watch probably 50+ years ago.The second watch band was for my son’s watch. While this one was more straight-forward due the pin being compressed from the outside. The problem here was that the pin side of the tool snapped while trying to replace the band. Fortunately, it came with a spare. But I’m still shocked and disappointed it broke in the first place: granted, the side of the tool is thinner than a paperclip, it shouldn’t be as weak as one.

Perfect for its INTENDED purpose!
First things first: This is a spring bar removal tool. It is designed to assist in the removal and/or installation of a watch strap or bracelet from, or to, the watch itself. The spring bar is released by depressing the “spring” in the “bar”, thus releasing the strap or bracelet from the watch. The end of the tool with the pin is for use on watches that have pierced, or drilled lugs. The notched or “forked” end is for use on those watch-lugs that are solid. THIS TOOL IS NOT DESIGNED TO HELP REMOVE OR ADD LINKS TO WATCH BRACELETS! Therefore hitting with a hammer to punch out link pins, will of course, destroy it. There is is another set of tools available that IS specifically DESIGNED to remove or add bracelet links (see my last photo).NOW, about this tool: I have given it 5 stars for several reasons. First, it is longer and thicker than many others making it easier to use and maneuver. It is also exceedingly well constructed for durability. Next, there is a metric ruler engraved on the body of the tool which allows for measurements of strap width and lug separation. Straps are often tapered And the ruler will help determine that, and the required buckle size when you are changing straps. It can even be useful in the measurement of the overall size of the watch itself, if the watch doesn’t exceed 50mm.The seller provided excellent communication and super-quick, safe delivery. I highly recommend this tool, and, Barton!

Very well made
Well made and the ruler on the handle is very handy. Makes adjustments extremely easy. Extra end parts is a nice touch.

Broke after first use and tip too short
For my Citizen MoonPhase Eco-Drive, it did not work and it broke. Totally useless. Broke both tips and I read the directions and looked up how to do it beforehand and I was careful. Clearly it works for some watches as some users gave good reviews. But it DID NOT work for mine. Sad and a waste of money

Good quality, well made, works well. A big step up from the cheap spring bar tools we see a lot online. I used mine the minute it arrived to change straps on a few of my watches without any issues. The barrel size & shape is good for a positive grip and makes it easier to find the right angle to apply the tool to the spring bar. Overall, very pleased, good tool for the money.
Amazon Customer –
This is a simple little tool, but feels really good, built well and has extra heads for different pins.Worth the money if you ever want to change straps or need to work on watches.Super easy to use/change the heads.
Expert Shopper LOL –
Well priced and well made, but I think you should consider your needs carefully before ordering.The issue is the tips are not very fine, and are only suitable for watches with normal tolerances. I used it to change the strap on a watch with tight tolerances and it made me very nervous.If you have a higher end collection, and like to swap straps often, spring for a high end tool. However if you have a more casual collection with easy to access springbars, this is a nice tool.Extra note: find quick release springbar equipped straps whenever possible, they are an absolute pleasure and allow you to save these sorts of tools for maintenance and occasional swaps of permanent straps.

The product itself is ok, works as intended. It does have a slight rattle which makes me question the longevity of this item but so far it’s fine.

Bought this just in case the included tools for my Samsung Gear S2 band were cheap / flimsy. Lucky I did. Really saved me having to wait or go out and get it resized at a store. I also successfully installed the extra bit from this into the cheap tool that came with my watch band and now it works great too.
