Cadrim Professional Watch Repair Kit - Spring Bar Tool Set, Battery Replacement, Link Pin Tool with Carrying Case (Max 38mm)

This is a superb starter/hobbyist tool kit , even for such a low price you get a really comprehensive outfit of very acceptable quality tools. If you were to gather this level of kit individually you would spend far more than the price here, unbeatable value for money in my opinion.

Very handy, used it twice now and have saved £20 from not having to visit the watch shop for strap adjustments and battery change.Good value for money 💯

Very happy with this product that has already paid for itself. We had a small clock and a few watches that needed new batteries, but removing the cases (thread and clip versions) was difficult. This kit enabled me to do the job with ease. The only downside is that the link removal tool doesn't appear to be very sturdy, although I think it will probably be up to the task when required.

If reducing a watch strap or inserting a battery or putting on a new watch strap, taken the watch to the jewellers can be expensive. This is a good too set for most jobs involving the previously mentioned tasks and is easy to use and it works well. The tasks mentioned a relatively easy and instructions can be found online easily enough. This is decent quality, inexpensive and it comes comes in a zip up solid case. This is a good value watch repair kit that will save you money. Well pleased.

On first glance it seems this kit has everything you might need. I had a watch needing a new battery so I decided to try the kit out. The watch strap is a metal type, and I decided to take out one of the links so getting to the backplate of the watch was easy. As I was turning the handle of the gizmo which prods the connecting pin out of the strap, the entire handle just fell apart. There are two circular metal rings which are supposed to keep the handle secure. I don't know whether these were supposed to be glued in place, but they were not. I had to reassemble the handle myself, and then glue these metal retainers in place to prevent this happening subsequently.Hardly the beginning you would want for such a product!However, everything else was fine. The gadget which holds the watch clamped in position works fine, and there are two levers to enable you to prise off watch covers which require it. One is muted, the other sharp. The muted one easily opened the back of my watch. Tweezers (they have a fancy name in the useful 'how to' sheet which comes with the kit, but to me they are still just tweezers) are provided to enable the removal of items from the watch (in my case, a plastic mould which protects the watch module and the battery), and non-magnetic screwdrivers should they be needed. Removing and replacing the battery was simple, and closing the watch a reverse of the opening process.Whilst in battery-replacing mode, I recalled the fob to my wife's car needed a new battery, and again the blunt implement enabled me to level the fob apart, remove the battery and replace it quickly and easily.All-in-all, apart from the initial disaster with the handle of the retaining pin removal tool, the kit contains all you would need to get into the majority of watches. The gadget which enables you to unscrew those watch backs which have 'notches' on the edge of the back cover is solidly constructed, and contains pins of different shapes to fit whatever shape the notches on your watch happen to be. It adjusts height and width-wise so the tool can be used regardless of the diameter of your watch.As mentioned earlier, an information sheet is enclosed with the kit explaining what each implement is intended for, and gives a brief 'how to' depending on whether you want to change the entire strap from metal to leather, or adjust the strap's length, or get inside the watch for whatever reason.I cannot say whether I was just unlucky with the strap's pin remover gadget (and other pin removers and a small hammer to encourage the pins to start coming out are included) so if ordering this particular kit, I'd check the pin remover gadget's handle and check that the two metal retainers at either end are in place and securely stuck in place. I've deducted two stars from my rating - one for the handle falling apart, and another for my having to go to the trouble of doing the manufacturer's job in putting it together and ensuring it won't fall apart again!

Great tool

Great product but no instructions 😕

Great watch repair kit. Great value for money. Already used it to change a watch battery.
