(Pros) If you're expecting a $150.00 professional watch tool for $15.00, you will be disappointed. It worked great on 3 watches that there was no way to snap the case back on by hand. No damage to the case or crystal. Just on the 3 watches I've done so far only having to buy batteries, it's already paid for itself plus! I would recommend it 100% for home use. (Cons) Some of the dies don't sit level closing at an angle. The case backs still snapped in as they should, so it really wasn't an issue. If you find this to be an problem, just add a piece of tape on one underside of the die to level it. (The only reason for 4 outta 5 stars.) (Overall) A good investment for the money.

Press feels sturdy, good weight... Hollowed arm bent during first press but got the job done although I did slow press, rotated multiple times and didn't get even seating without alternate means. I suppose that's a win but I hoped to use it again and wouldn't be inclined to purchase an expensive sapphire crystal expecting a second push. To be fair, I was pushing a thick double-dome into my SKX007 which isn't exactly a cheap OEM push, which I'm sure it would have done. At the price, it's possible that I'd buy another but would consider it a si gle use item.

This tool will do as it claims. It will install or mount most wristwatch back covers and front crystals onto their watch frame counterparts. With the use of this tool, the installation time is greatly reduced in comparison to other less express approaches to back cover and crystal installation. When using this tool, POSITIONING of all parts involved is quite critical, as well as the correct choice of inserts for the size and type of wristwatch being serviced. Also, ALIGNMENT, CENTERING, and LEVELING of all parts and props involved is just as critical. Make sure to re-inspect and re-verify your POSITIONING, which will include ALIGNMENT, CENTERING, and LEVELING. Do not apply excessive pressure on the press grip, especially when installing a front face crystal. Always place several thicknesses of some type of cloth between the face of the crystal and the top press insert, to avoid unnecessary scratching and even fracture of the crystal. This is a very Useful Tool.Read full review

The press worked exactly as it should. I had a case back that I struggled to install and couldn't, so I bought this tool. It worked perfectly and is easy to use. I have since used it on a second watch and it worked well. In both cases, it would have been impossible to replace the watch case back without using a press.

Tool arrived quickly and with all pieces. OK quality, especially considering low price. Had a large watch to install back on. Accepted firm hit at pivot point with soft mallet to help set back. No damage on tool or watch. Would buy again! Skill needed to operate is moderate.
