mars08 Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 (edited) This should be an easy one for those of you with a clue. I remember seeing a picture of a tool which is used to remove pins from SS bracelets. I think it came with various size removable "tips" for different types of pins. Sorry for being so vague. Can someone please tell me its correct name so I can buy one? Edited July 9, 2008 by mars08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spy Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Hey Mars, I think you mean one of these: Bracelet tools, the spring bar tool has pin removers on one side and spring bar removers on the other. Further down the page are cheap pin remover tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodwc Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Sounds simple and hope you know, just make CERTAIN you push the pins out , in the correct direction, otherwise you will need more than a pin removal tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormTooper4 Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 I got one the other day , but there are no instructions, not that I'd read them if there were. But does anyone have a simple goon tutorial cheers ST4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But does anyone have a simple goon tutorial cheers ST4 Try pushing those pins out the wrong way and you will need more than a simple goon tutorial. ( Not all bracelets have arrows showing which way they should be pushed out ). Laugh at me if you will, mark my words , some plonker is going to write a post, HELP, my pin is stuck.

Okay, consider this a pre-emptive "plonk" Is there an easy way to tell the right direction to push the pin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offshore Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Inspect the pin/s from each side. Normally one side will be more recessed, and have a rounded top. The other side will be more flush, and appear to have a slot or split top.(Sometimes even confused as a screwdriver slot ) You push from the rounded (recessed) side, the split top must come out first. This (split top) is the part which "expands" inside the link to secure the pin, so it needs to seat in last. Hope that makes sense.
