Double-sided: two grip sizes on one tool
🔧 What it does & how to use
This is a friction-fit case back opener for hobbyist and professional watchmakers alike. Press the soft rubber pad tight against the case back — this creates a vacuum seal — then twist to break the friction and lift the back away. It's quick, gentle on the case, and a good first tool to reach for before resorting to a case knife or vice.
-
Press: push the rubber pad firmly onto the case back to form a seal.
-
Twist: rotate the tool sharply to break the friction fit.
-
Lift: once loosened, the back should lift or unscrew freely.
-
Flip for size: the tool is double-sided, so turn it over to try the other grip diameter if the first doesn't seal.
⚠️ Please check this tool works by suction and friction, so it may not shift very tight or heavily gasketed case backs — a case knife or press may be needed for those.
