Patience Is You Friend!Needed a Pin-Press to adjust the length of a stainless-steel watch bracelet. Found lots a complaints online about the toylike quality of this item (regardless of brand). There is no dearth of negative reviews critical of bent pins (while using the device), many with photos as proof. Nevertheless, the press worked perfectly for me without bending a single pushpin.Now, if ya don’t have the patience to read the following and heed my instructions, then ya very likely don’t have the patience to size yer bracelet. In that case, just take it to a jeweler and save yerself some grief. Otherwise, ‘Happy Tweaking’!First Things First1. Accept the reality of low quality and keep that in mind while working with it (it’s a watchmaker’s tool chest staple).2. Do not use the thumbwheel adjustable platform it will wobble wildly.3. Instead use shims (I used cardboard).4. It is important to align the Pin-Press pushpins with the bracelet pins, but it doesn’t need to be perfectly level.5. It is much more important to ensure that the 2-pins make direct contact inside the bracelet pin clearance hole.6. Extract pins only in the direction of the bracelet’s arrows.7. locking end).Bonus Heads-UpThe Pin-Press screw down push-wheel captures the replaceable pushpins with a screw down collar.Back the collar off a little to shorten the length of the pushpin. A shorter length will increase its strength.Extraction Process (trial and error—be patient—go slow—with a light touch)1. Be sure the bracelet arrows are pointing away from the pushpin.2. Push only in the same direction as the arrows.3. Using shims & the screw down push-wheel, align pushpin with bracelet pin (get it close as ya can, just shy of touching).4. When ya feel comfortable, center the pushpin over the bracelet pin , and then screw it down just to touch.5. Check the alignment again.6. If it looks good, very lightly and slowly screw it down.7. Get any resistance—Stop and readjust.8. When the pushpin and bracelet pin are properly aligned it will be a smooth extraction.9. Once the fat end of the bracelet pin is visible ya got it.10. After that, all ya need is fingers, tweezers, or pliers.Reinsertion Process1. Fat end of the bracelet pin on your end.2. Do Not put fat end in first and then push toward the arrows’ point.3. Small pin end goes into the bracelet first.4. Push toward the arrows’ point until it is flush with the bracelet5. Use the Pin-Press only to perfect any desired final tweaks.

It works if you are Very Careful.The little circle platform to raise the band inline with the tool is very rough in it's adjustment.I wish they had machined the raising screw to a tighter tolerance. it's Sloppy

It was missing parts and could not use it what I purchased it to do

I needed to remove a link and didn’t feel like paying $40 to ask a pro to do it. Have to do this slow and have a small jewelry plier and metal nail file just in case. Because my watch band is made of ceramic, I taped a piece of felt the same size as the circular platform base so to not scratch the band. The platform moves up and down depending on how thick the band is so the pin can push out parallel to the table. If you do not do this the pin will bend. You also have to hold down the band. Just screw the pinhead slowly to push out the pin in the in the band. Make sure to push in the direction of the arrow on back of the watch links. My pin was tight so I had to use plier to pull it out. I used a tip of the metal nail file to push the pin back into the link. :)

I bought this to remove a link from the watch band on a new Fossil smartwatch.The tool works as advertised. You have to be reasonably careful to keep the watch band perpendicular to the mechanism; if you can do that it works well enough.The 3 stars on ease of use are because it is touchy to line up the watch band and there aren't any guides that help or hold the band in place. Also, the tool is small and doesn't have anything to mount to a tabletop to stabilize (a suction cup would be sufficient). You need a fair bit of dexterity to line things up and still have free fingers to turn the wheel.Again, though, once you get it lined up removing a link is straightforward. I do overall recommend it.
