Practical DIY Watch Repair Kit

Last year was a long DIY learning experience. We have relied on many online videos and forums to fix and make things around the house. One of the new skills we learned was simple watch repairs. Instead of trying to find an open shop to change the watch's battery, we learned how to do it ourselves. However, my husband quickly realized that we would need tools as well as skills. He bought some small things on the way, but he likes this SOONAN DIY watch repair tool kit very much. It comes in a nice and compact carrying case that includes a small sheet that briefly explains how to use the tools that come with it. In addition to the hardware needed to open snap-lock and screw-lock watch cases, the kit includes other tools for resizing and repairing watch bands and changing watch bands. Although the tools don't look like the professional quality tools used by Swiss watchmakers, in most cases they do the job. One piece of advice we can give is to take your time using these tools and cover the parts of the watch with tape to avoid scratches in case you slip. My husband was still hesitant to service his grandfather's watch himself with this kit because it really is a job for someone with much better tools and horological skills. However, we were able to change a few batteries in the watch and change a few straps. This handy kit is priced well below what we paid for such a simple watch repair service, so it was definitely worth it.
