Tools and Hardware Reviews of SE Watch Case Wrench, Adjustable
Customer Review: Nice try, but...flimsy, cheap, non-functioning... DONT BUY
Summary: 1 Stars
I read the mixed reviews on this product but decided to buy it anyway - I figured the price was so low, I was willing to accept some hiccups and work-arounds. But after fooling around with it for quite a while, I gave up and sent it back. It was useless. It really is a piece of junk, and here's why:
1) The wooden case fell apart - the packaging it was shipped in (from the manufacturer) was in perfect condition, which means (to me) the factory inserted a broken box into the package. If it had been damaged in shipment, I assume the factory box would have been damaged. I read several other reviews warning that the box would fall apart. It did. Seems to be not just bad luck with a particular order, but a systemic problem with the factory.
2) The nuts/bolts that hold the wrench together were loose/missing. I found a loose nut in the packaging and was able to re-assemble the wrench. I realize this is a super-cheap wrench, but I would hope it would break/fall apart AFTER I started using it, and not because of abysmal assembly at the factory.
3) The number/variety of pins advertised is incorrect; 2 out of 4 sets of pins were identical, which limited the types of cases which could be opened. Again, a factory problem. I picture drunk people on the line just grabbing a handful of random pins and inserting them into the package. Turns out the size/shape of the pins I would have needed were not included.
4) The pin sockets were not properly sized to accept and hold the pins. One socket would only release its pin when I forcibly pulled on it with pliers. The other socket wouldn't hold the pin at all; 2 of 3 pin sockets were so loose that I couldn't apply pressure to unscrew the case w/o the pins falling out.
5) The thumb-screws to adjust the width of the arms/pins would not adequately allow adjustment or tightening. As soon as I let off the thumb screw, the pressure released. I would have to hold both screws with my fingers to keep constant pressure; this was difficult since I needed other fingers to hold the loose pins in place.
So even if you buy this with very low expectations (as I did) for that occasional use once or twice a year, this is NOT worth the effort (even though the price is great). It just doesn't work. I plan to research and buy a quality wrench and not fool with this worthless junk.
