Category: Watch & Clock Tools

Securely close watch case backs with these robust pliers, engineered for precise, scratch-free application of firm, even pressure.

What it does

These pliers leverage a compound-action pivot and extended handles to multiply your closing force, making it easier to seat snap-back or screw-back cases. The wide, precisely shaped roller jaw, lined with soft rubber, grips the case back firmly without marring its finish. This design ensures a tight seal after servicing, essential for maintaining a watch’s integrity and water resistance. Constructed from durable, polished steel, they offer reliable performance for repeated use.

How to use it

  • Align the case back and case rim carefully.
  • Position the pliers' roller jaw over the case back.
  • Apply steady, even pressure until the case is fully closed.

Who it's for

Built for UK watchmakers, horologists, and serious hobbyists undertaking case closures. This tool replaces the need for potentially damaging manual pressure or less controlled methods, streamlining the servicing workflow for both snap-back and screw-back designs. Also suitable for optical technicians needing controlled pressure for frame adjustments.

Samuel ★★★★★

The compound-action pivot on these pliers makes closing stubborn case backs a breeze—no more slipping or scratched watch backs. They fit comfortably in hand and the extra leverage really saves effort. A solid tool that does exactly what it promises.

Emily ★★★★★

I finally don’t have to wrestle with stubborn watch backs anymore—the extra leverage makes closing them effortless. The rubber lining is a lifesaver, keeping the case completely scratch-free.

Leo ★★★★★

The compound-action pivot gives me way more control than my old pliers, so I can close watch backs without worrying about scratching them. Takes the guesswork out of applying even pressure.
