🔧 What it does & how to use

Replacement winding stems are usually supplied over-length so they can be cut to fit whatever movement they're going into. These pliers let a watchmaker or keen hobbyist shear the stem's thread down to the precise length required, so the crown sits and winds correctly once fitted.

• Measure first: compare the new stem against the old one, or against the movement, to work out how much needs to come off.
• Position the stem: place it in the cutting jaws at the marked or measured point.
• Cut to length: squeeze the pliers firmly to shear through the stem thread cleanly.
• Test fit: screw the crown onto the trimmed stem and check it seats and winds properly before final assembly.
