Yes, it works! remember, the pin should be pushed out on the side where the arrow is and pushed back in through the hole next to the arrow as well. to pull out the pin, gently pull it out with needle nosed plyers after using the tool, taking care not to bend the pin. great, simple product. I really like the fact that the pin on the tool is long enough to push out the watch pin enough to pull it out with plyers. The other blue tool they sell on amazon only has a short pin.

The tool was received promptly and in good condition. I was able to remove several watch band pins that were necessary to remove links from the wristband. Once you have accurately position the pin remover over the desired pins,and you are pushing the pin outward on the correct side of the watch band, then turn the knob clockwise to push the pins out. The tool has a spring-loaded "bed" (it's hard to see it in the picture) that will accommodate the different thickness of several different watch bands This tool adequately did the job with a little careful planning. I would recommmend the purchase of this tool.

The product is definitely over-priced. I can't imagine it costing any more than $2 to manufacture in China. It did not come with the 3 additional pins advertised, but fortunately I didn't need them. I was able to successfully use the tool on 3 of my watches. BTW. It comes with no directions; it took me about 5 minutes to figure out how to use the tool, but then I'm a bit slow :-) If you need to adjust a few watches and can't find anything less expensive; buy it, otherwise buy something of better quality.

It does exactly what it's supposed to do. If you use it twice, it will have paid for itself.

Other reviewers talk about tricks and extra equipment, but I just pulled it out of the box and went to work, with no difficulties.

I purchased the watch band pin remover at the recommendation of the internet. I was only going to buy the watch and then I decided maybe the band pin remover would make it easier for me to shorten the band. The pin remover does not work with the watch band on Seiko SGG709. I didn't return the band pin remover for two reasons: (1) I switched watch bands from one of my old non working watches to the Seiko SGG709 and it works just fine. I didn't have to shorten the band at all. (2) The band pin remover did work on another watch that I had, therefore, I decided to keep it. If I had to do it all over again I would not have purchased the band pin remover. I guess the best thing I can tell you is if you see something you like BUY IT and ONLY IT and you should be ok.
