Ginsco 360 Pcs 6-25mm Diameter 1.5mm Stainless Steel Watch Band Spring Bars Link Pins with Strap Link Pin Remover Watch Repair Kit

This is an *extensive* assortment of Spring-Bars and a handy tool to be able to change / re-attach watch bands. I was very surprised by how many of each spring-bars there are and and the variety of sizes. Thought this product is very affordable, they do not skimp. This is an excellent value and took away any concern I had about "messing up". There are PLENTY of pins in every size. A little pouch of each. Here's a usage tip: I struggled to re-attach the buckle-end of my watch band, because I couldn't figure out how to hold it all in place while using the tool. Just not enough hands! Here's what worked: Find the right size spring-bar 1st. I had measured the "gap" of my watch band buckle to be about 25 mm and I assumed that would be the size of the spring-bar needed. Glad I got the assortment! What I needed was 22mm...So play around. Best if you compare the "solid" body of the spring-bar with your prior one, if possible, but there are plenty of each size, so no worries. Tip: In my case, I was replacing the spirng-bar closest to the buckle itself, not closest to the watch body. To replace more easily: TURN THE BUCKLE and BAND ONTO ONE SIDE onto press firmly against a desktop surface with the spring-bar already inserted through the buckle and little buckle-stem...! Be sure the buckle-stem is ON TOP of the buckle and not behind it!!!! (That's cause for instant regret!) By holding the whole assembly sideways on top of a solid surface, the buckle will be held tight against the band and spring-bar assembly, which will then allow you to use the little U-Shaped part of the tool, to compress the pin and put the other half of the buckle on ---- , since the other half is securely placed against the desktop and thus not wobbling around. I had to fiddle for quite some while, before I turned it on it's side against a surface and then it came together in 10 seconds. Hope this helps! (If you have an expensive watch...may want to pad the surface with a cotton face-cloth or dry towel of some sort.)

I only needed a few sets of watch pins, but at this price it was cheaper to get the kit. It has more than enough of every size watch pin, plus the kit came with a tool to remove and replace the pins. Each size is in a separate ziplock bag, easy to grab the size I needed. They worked great too. None of them broke when I was putting them in or since while the watches have been being worn, about 3 months as of 9/20/2018. I will buy these again, if I ever run out that is. I will also buy from the seller again.

It works I just received it today and fixed two watches in a few minutes for 6 bucks I cannot even think of anything to complain about. If you take your watches to a shop to have it repaired you will spend a lot more than that and they probably use this kit to repair your watch anyway, there are tons of sizes to choose from it comes with a little tool to place the link pins so stop being lazy and just fix the watch yourself I think this kit will last 100 years because I won’t break that many straps in my or my kids life time. I will update if the links fail quickly but there are about 15 links per size so I should be ok .

For very little money, this kit will last many lifetimes. In fact, it could become a family heirloom! No matter how careful you are, there are times one of these spring-loaded pins will fly across the room when trying to reinstall it. Even with the remover/installation tool, those tiny pins have a mind of their own. Most of my watches are battery operated. And, in most cases, the metal band has to be disconnected to remove the back of the watch. All of a sudden, "ZOOM," a spring goes off into the wild blue yonder. Now, I have no fears of this happening. I have pins aplenty, enough for an eternity. They appear very well made and the enclosed tool is very helpful. It's better to have this kit (and not need it) than to need it (and not have it). I proudly endorse this message.

These come in little plastic bags, sorted and labeled. Every size from 6mm to 25mm is present. I had to replace a broken one and after fiddling a bit (they're always hard to get in - that's not a criticism of this brand, but in general they will "fly off" if you're not careful) they fit perfectly. Choosing the size to use can be a challenge. The old one had a slightly larger barrel and less spring compression. The correct (20mm) from this assortment fits perfectly, even though the barrel length is shorter. I used an electronic caliper I bought (cheap one) and determined the opening between the "ears" on the watch was just over 20mm. It turns out the 20mm pin from this set compresses to about 19.6mm, and you have to be sure it will compress enough to fit inside the "ears" when it's through the watch band. I didn't find the little tool helpful for installation - a jeweler's screwdriver was better to compress the pin and slide it into the watch. Finding the hole so it would expand and anchor is always a challenge - the pin wanted to take off into space when I didn't line it up right, but I kept it pointing down so I could find it. When all done, it worked perfectly. I would recommend this kit to anyone, even with all thumbs like me!

Even though the pin tool broke almost immediately (well, 1 side of it), I’m still giving this 3 stars since I am now likely set for life with extra pins. I am a bit upset the tool broke mainly because I have a 14 month old in my house and I wasn’t able to find the forked end that snapped off while trying to place a pin. I just hope my vacuum finds it before my child. That said, the other side of the tool held up and I was able to finish placing the pin. The pins seem a little thin compared to the original pins on the timex I was using it to replace, but I haven’t had a lot of experience with replacement pins and they may work just fine. I have another watch that needs a new pin as well and when I get to that one, if it looks like the pins are thin compared to the originals on that one as well, then I will further update my review. Long story short, I would buy again, but would try to set up a catch in case the tool broke the next time I switched out a pin or watch band.

I have only had to use the kit twice but both times the kit was great to have handy. There is a huge range of pin lengths so I suspect almost any need could be met. For sure it had what I needed. The pins come nicely bagged in cute little zip lock bags and there is a little tool for removing and installing the pins. A very nice kit and a fair price. What's not to like other than it is not US made? I buy US made stuff as much as I can but frequently don't have much choice but to buy imported. This is one of those cases.

Well, I really did not need 360 pieces but, for the price, I am now equipped to handle just about any watch strap and not just the strap that needed a new pin. Since I am not in the watch repair business, I think these will last me a lifetime. I did find the included tool quite useful as I struggled to get the spring loaded bars to snap into place.

It’s a very poor-quality product. The MRP is over ₹3,000, but the quality isn’t even worth ₹300. I’ve requested a replacement, so let’s see what they send this time.

The tool provided is flimsy and feels like the simple action of removing the sprimg bars of a watch would break it. The links provided are fine but the tool is very bad infact. It seems like a used one was provided and parts of it were rusty.

Not up to the standard quality, not value for money
