DIY Crafts Watch Repair Tool Kit for Watch Back Case Remover and Opener

For an investment of about $10, immediately upon its arrival I saved at least $100 and regained the use of a half-dozen watches I’d forgotten I had. Because I would have to take a watch to a watch repair place whenever its battery died, pay $10-15 just to have the battery replaced, and then wait as long as a week to get it back, I usually procrastinated doing so and often ended up forgetting to do so. The current pandemic made this even more difficult, and when my go-to watches starting dying I decided it was time I acquired the tools to do it myself. I was mainly interested in getting a wrench that would allow me to open the back of my Swiss Army watch, but thought it pretty nifty that this kit also had tools for opening every other kind of watch. So when it arrived, I collected every old watch I had and found I could open them all and replace their batteries myself. The tools worked as promised, including the watch vise which was very useful for holding the watches whose backs required more effort to unscrew or pry off. While not the finest jewelers tools, they are more than “good enough” and of much higher quality than I expected for the price. With them I don’t expect I’ll ever have to send out to have a battery replaced again. Two final points: first, replacing the batteries is as simple to do as it sounds, so fear not that it is a leap into the unknown or that it requires special skills. Second, buy your replacement batteries online: for the price you pay at the drug store for one, you can get a pack of 2 or 3 or more thru Amazon. (Oh, and if any questions about which battery to get, you can find battery conversion charts online as well.). In sum, this is a purchase that has exceeded my expectations and brought me a lot of satisfaction.

I sell items online and some of those items are watches. I always put a new battery in them before they are shipped so I was looking for a nice battery replacement kit. This is a wonderful kit and it comes with all the tools to hold, remove and replace a battery. It doesn't come with the batteries of course but I bought them on Amazon. The kit came well packaged and all the tools fit in the sturdy box it came in. Great kit and great price.

OMG, so ridiculously east! Nearly got in a fight at Walmart the other day cause they were so snotty about not changing my batteries, though had done it twice before and the watch bands on them were purchased from them. Did not know anybody else who wanted to be bothered. So I thought, there must be a better way. First search turned up this item, and on first attempt took me less than 5 minutes to figure out. Also bought the set of batteries as suggested. I think I could become the neighborhood battery replacer with all this! Not sure I will attempt further repairs, but for the price this is perfect, and a HUGE cure for frustrations!

This is one of the best purchases I have made. I have several watches and have trouble finding places that will change the battery for me. Now I don’t need them. Definitely worth the investment.

This is a great kit with all the tools to open the back of your watch, no matter which kind and replace your battery! For years, I took my watches to repair shops and paid the high price just for them to put new batteries in…no more! This kit comes with everything you need to do it yourself. They also have a little instruction manual that gives you simple instructions on how to use all the tools included. Within 30 min, I replaced the batteries in 4 different watches! Highly recommend.

It’s only $11, so don’t expect jewelry quality tools here. The worst tool in this set is the watch case holder: clamping down on a watch makes the clamp distort and bow outward. Also, the clamp pins are plastic and don’t grip the watch case very well. The watch back opener had too much “play,” and trying to get a good purchase on the back face using this tool wasn’t easy. The three screwdrivers are ok; on examination under a 10x loop did reveal that the blades of all three of them were a little irregular. The tweezers are great, and the pry blade/knives work well also. I bought this set to be able change my own watch batteries as they are incredibly cheap here on Amazon - many are under a dollar. I bought a 10 count package for each type of battery my watches use, and I’m sure they will last for a good long time. If you want to do some semi-pro or pro watchmaking work, these are probably not right for you. But if you’re just trying to replace a battery in a watch that doesn’t cost a lot, they are fine.

It's always been a hassle changing watch batteries as some have teeny screws holding the back on or you can't take the back off because you need a special tool to unscrew it. This tool is the charm that handles all those problems. After reviewing the video I put it to the test & quickly changed 2 batteries. I am more than happy with this tool & my only regret is I didn't have it years ago. It paid for self with these 2 battery changes considering the jewelry person charges $10-12.00 per watch for a battery so I'm ahead of the game and oh so happy. This tool is simple & very easy to use, I highly recommend it if you want to change your watch batteries & save money.

I had eight watches that had piled up in a drawer waiting for batteries. Now I have only one. In an hour I had replaced the batteries for 7 watches and they are all in working order. Why not 8? The last watch has the battery secured in with a tiny metal belt with an even tinier screw. None of the screwdrivers that came with this set were thin enough to turn that tiny screw. I had a good deal of trouble getting some of the backs on-I see that there is another tool for that that I think I may invest in as well. This product does not appear to be incredibly sturdy, but it works fine for non-professionals. If this set had to be used daily-I'm not sure it would hold up, but for once or twice a year this should be good for a good long while. The instructions this comes with are vague and not at all helpful but videos can be found online to guide you through the use of these tools. This kit paid for itself in an hour. The last time I had my watch batteries replaced (and this was years ago...) it was $14 per watch. Now I can't even find anyone to change watch batteries unless I go to a jeweler. For that reason alone-5 stars.

The packaged arrived without the precision screwdrivers included!

quality not good!
