When changing watch straps, replacing a buckle or resizing the number of links in a metal watch bracelet it is important to have a dependable tool. The right tool can both protect the watch from damage and speed up the task.

This diamond-pattern knurled jewellers tool fits well in the hand and provides for good grip.  The weight of the stainless steel shaft is evenly balanced and at 110mm, it is a comfortable length to manipulate.  The dual attachment points provide for different tips to be secured at each end, so a different tool can be used simply by changing the end in action.

The spring bar tool comes with six interchangeable tips, providing three different end options:
* three fittings with a narrow v-notched spring bar tool on one end and a link-pin pusher tool the other end
* three fittings with a flat, but wide v-notched spring bar tool

Though it is unlikely that the tips will break from occasional use, it is comforting to know you have spares - and that a new tip can easily be rotated in if needed.  So far it has been a match for every task I have put it to.
