🔧 What it does & how to use
This tool removes the roller table and roller jewel from a balance staff, a job needed whenever a balance staff is being replaced or an escapement is being serviced. The balance staff is supported securely while the tool's spring-loaded action applies steady, controlled pressure to lift the roller off cleanly, avoiding the bending or snapping risk of improvised methods.
It's a standard piece of bench kit for professional watchmakers and a useful precision tool for hobbyists working on vintage and antique mechanical watches, particularly older pocket watches and wristwatches where balance staff work is common. Simply position the balance staff in the tool, apply gentle pressure via the spring action, and the roller table releases without disturbing the hairspring or pivot.
