 Broke after one use Aug 02, 2007
The pin bent on my first attempt to use it and the thing was useless.

 accomplished the task Jun 01, 2007
I was able to use this tool to successfully shorten my wife's watchband. As with most things the first time takes the longest to get it right. Read the instructions first and make sure the tool pin squarely contacts the watchband pin only, does not overlap onto the band itself. Push through only enough to get a hold of it with pliers to completely pull it out (do not try to use tool to entirely push pin out all the way). Make sure to note which way pin travels; it is usually marked on the underside of watchband with an arrow. Also note which end of the pin comes out first; that is the end that goes in first. The pin is usually rounded on the side that goes in first and/or it is marked to differentiate the two ends. This isn't the best tool for this job but it is cheap and works if you are careful. There are no extra pins supplied but if the pin on the tools bends slightly you can usually straighten it out. The watchband can also "pull out" the tool pin from time to time, but you can push it back into the plastic holder of the tool for use again. Again, it is a cheap tool (the shipping cost about the same as the tool itself) but now I'm an expert with it after needing 15-20 minutes to remove two links from each side of the watchband. Now I expect I could accomplish subsequent similar tasks in 5 minutes using the same tool.
 Worked great! Feb 15, 2007
Good tool. Sturdy design and easily pushed the pins out of my band. Good seller. Will buy again.
CHEAP TOOL.... Feb 14, 2007
I have brought several link removers from this seller and have been very disappointed. All this pins have broke. This is the worst one yet! My husband collects watches and loves tool gagets. Next time, I will buy a quality tool and will pay a little more for a better made link remover.

Cheap, simple, effective Jan 10, 2007
I bought this item rather than pay $13 to have my watch band resized at the local mall. Although of cheap construction (commensurate with its price), the link pin remover is simple and effective.
The instructions have been written by someone who is not a native speaker of English but apart from a few linguistic oddities, they are clear enough to be useful.
Don't rush, read the instructions, use the adjustable height table to support the watch band, take care with the markings on the band which indicate the direction that the pin has to be pushed and use a magnifying glass to make sure everything is lined up. If you feel resistance, stop and check. Push the pin out 2 or 3 mm with the tool and then pull it the rest of the way by hand. Worked flawlessly for me.
One thing not mentioned in the leaflet ... When you remove the pin, take careful note of its orientation. You'll have to reinsert at least one pin to rejoin the band and it will only go in one way. If you forget (as I did) you'll have to remove another pin to check which end to insert.
Note that my comments apply solely to the link pin remover. I did not try either of the other two functions of the tool.
