Eventronic BH-696 Watch Repair Kit, Professional

The blocks are well designed for their purpose, i.e. link removal/replacement, securing the watch for back plate screw removal etc., and hand tools are sturdy enough. Overall it’s not a bad kit for the money. However I have a major gripe with the backplate removal wrench, which is the large chrome tool intended the remove a screw-on backplate. The various tips and relative holders are poorly threaded and are made of inferior metal. I bent two of them on the first watch. This is not a user or watch related issue; If you’ve ever removed this type plate you well know how sweat, dust, and dirt can make it difficult to do. A small single drop of solvent will run around the plate, loosen the bond and make it easier but ultimately the task will require some force with a sturdy tool. The tips just don’t hold up and the holders are not rigid, causing them to lean against the force of the turn and thereby disallowing the tips to solidly engage. It’s just not a well made tool. That stated, there’s still enough good about the kit to make it worth the price and handy to have around.
