This could have been 5 stars but it came in half assembled. A little thread glue and machine oil and it's almost as good as it's $400 cousin. I'm impressed at this price

Very nice tool and works well. I used to be able to pop case backs off with ease, then fight to get them back on for seemingly days, killing my hands and risking breaking the crystal. With this press, I can get the backs back onto my watches in seconds. Should have bought one long ago!

Hey there Mr./Mrs. amateur watchmaker who appreciates good tools, and is trying to open a caseback that was torqued down by a horny gorilla. I see you looking through the comments to see if you should:A) Buy this one, and hope it's good enough for nowB) Risk butchering your case back with the opener you got in the crappy $20 watchmakers kitC) Spend 60$ on a slightly less crappy hand opener that might still get a touch slippy, ORC) Spend $$$$$ to step up to the Swiss version, and wait weeks for it to arrive, and hope you use it more than twice in this hobby you are just starting out onDo yourself a favor, and just pull the trigger on this. It's worth at least a Benjamin to avoid bashing your knuckles on your bench vise while spontaneously engraving your vintage caseback with a new spiral motif.Just get it. It's really good. The spindle is precise and well aligned, and the spindle nut adjusts easily to put exactly the straight downward pressure you need on the case back. The case vise is well aligned, and there are multiple options for clamping the case, either from within the lugs (nice), or from the outside of the case.Build quality is great for the price. The base plate appears to be cast iron, the spindle is plated mystery steel, and the pillar and vise housing also appears to be mystery steel, not pot metal or aluminum. The pillar housing itself appears to be hollow, but it is plenty rigid. Mine was shipped to my door in 36 hours, and I'm back to work on my project.Overall, I'm extremely happy with this purchase, and I feel pretty confident to revert to this any time the 8 ball doesn't have the oomph.

Very well made and versatile

I have numerous divers watches. Most dive watches worth their salt have case backs that are screwed on tight by the manufacturer to assure that they will stand up to their rated optimum depth. You can use a "hand-held" case back removal tool, but you run the risk of scratching the back of the case, which in turn lessens the value of the watch if you decide to sell it at a later date.I have a vintage Seiko Arnie, the original 1984-85 model. It's battery was replaced five years ago and finally stopped working. The cost to ship the watch to Seiko's service center, insuring it and the cost to put in a new battery would cost me at least twice what this device cost me. I have used it so far on ten of my other watches and it does as advertised.Also it would have cost me at least $1500 to buy the Swiss made version. So to say the least I am pleased with my purchase.

If you work on watches, I highly recommend you buy something like this instead of the cheaper hand openers. You will save your watch case backs from scratches. This tool works well but there were no instructions in the box. I figured it out though.

Well made and shipped on time

Have been looking for this product for years. Found it, but the price was 986.00 from the Swiss company. Finally found this product for 169.00. Since purchasing, I have not found a single watch that I could not open. Worth every penny.

This tool will put an end to scratched up watch backs i have a lot of waterproof watches but even if you have only one or two don’t mar up watches worth hundred s with a $8 tool make this wise investment it will open the hardest case back with ease this tool works really well

Works as expected. Great product for the price. I have been able to open many different watches with no problem at all. Very happy with this purchase.
