I bought this item because I have super tiny wrists and watches always need adjusting. My local jewelery store charges upwards of $20 to remove links. In the same order I'd also gotten a watch I'd been coveting, so I figured I'd spring for the extra couple of bucks and try this thing out.

The tool comes with easy to follow instructions on how to use it. The knob that controls the height of the platform was very hard to turn. I had to use pliers, but I needed it to be higher, and it had already been as high as it can go. It isn't a high quality item either. The bulk of the tool is made of plastic. I tested it on one of my husband's old watches, and found that while taking the pin out of the link was easy to do, getting it back in wasn't as easy, since I don't have a jewelery mallet. I did try to use this tool to push it in, and it did go back in well, BUT the bit bent. Thankfully it comes with extra bits, and replacing it wasn't difficult at all.

When my new watch arrived it took my a little more than five minutes to take the links out and get them back in. For the price, this was an excellent value. Not only can I used it over and over, but it saved me $16.25 in just one use.

I give four stars only because of how easily the bit bent.
