Not very easy to adjust to the right size but can be done. Not sure what I will ever do with all the different heads it comes with. The latch on the box was quite cheap and has already broken.

The removable bits keep falling off and they are too small for the slots on the watch. They need very close adjustment. But the adjustment is on the handle. If I tried to grab the handle and turn the tool, the adjustment changes. Therefore, I was not able to remove the watch back case with this tool. I have been an amateur watch repairer for more than thirty years. I lost my old opener. But this one is useless. I may use the wooden box that it came with to hold my other tools.

For the money, it’s a good value. The opener itself has some flaws. It comes with several different set of “teeth” to work with a variety of watches. The problem is, they tend to fall out of the opener. There are three “teeth” to each set. You push them into the opener and then line them up with the indents on the back of the watch case. If you try to put the opener upside down onto the watch, the little teeth tend to fall out. The fix? Just hold the opener right side up and put the watch on upside down. It works and does the job. One more thing, the wooden box it comes it is very cheap balsa wood. It was cracked when I received it. Not very sturdy.

Buy this and fresh batteries from ebay and they’re still cheaper than having a shop change the battery once.

The tool is not of the highest quality but it does work. Good for occasional use.
