I had high hopes for this tool after seeing the reviews. I had also ordered a "complete" set of watch tools but since the link remover was plastic I thought it would be a good idea to get this. Wrong! The construction is terrible...the surfaces aren't even flat and the space for the band doesn't even come close to fitting my links and allowing the tool to work. If they would have threaded it a little further I might have been able to get it to work somehow, but there's only a small part of the remover that was threaded. On top of that, the pin that fits into the link is very soft and you can bend it with your fingers. I bet it will do the same when you try to punch out the pin in your band. Save your money and get another tool instead of this.
