Review on Hicarer Torque Shaft Movement Mechanism Hardware by Mitchell Watson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

PERFECT! The cheapest clock hands I have ever found!

In short if you want to make a watch USE THIS BRAND! You can't beat the price! Long story short I'm making a wooden clock to sell as a small part time job and this is by far the best and cheapest hands and movement combo I've found! I used to use Hobby Lobby clock hands, but they were more expensive, very fragile, and broke all the time, both when I installed them and when I stopped working for my clients. So I looked for a better alternative and found these and they are EXACTLY what I was looking for! The hands are of good quality (the hands are still bent metal but much stronger and less likely to 'break' than other brands) and the mechanism does not break during installation like some others I have used. It's also a great time saver. I use this size hands for my 30 inch clock and they are perfect! Just FYI, if you want to make a clock with a finished round woodwork and movement, you usually have to drill a hole in the back for it to fit through.

Pros
  • Measurement from hole center to tip: hour hand approx. 203 mm / 8.0 inches long; The minute hand is approximately 305mm/12 inches long; Note: Please check the size before you buy
Cons
  • Expensive
