🔧 What it does & how to use
A spider key is a single tool with several different sized square holes arranged around a hub, letting you wind clocks of different sizes without carrying a full set of individual keys. This set pairs two spider keys — one for even-numbered sizes, one for odd — with a separate run of 14 individual pocket watch keys, so between them you're covered for almost any clock or pocket watch winding arbor you'll meet. Ideal for hobbyists, collectors and clock/watch repairers who work on a mix of movements.
- Check the arbor: look at the square winding arbor on the clock movement or the winding square on the pocket watch.
- Pick the right key: for clocks, choose the spider key (even or odd) and turn it to line up the matching-size hole; for pocket watches, select the individual key that fits snugly.
- Test the fit: the key should slide fully onto the square without force and without play — try adjacent sizes if it feels loose or tight.
- Wind: turn gently and evenly, stopping as soon as you feel resistance at full wind — never force it.
