Honestly it varies for each spring bar that is used for a watch. For instance if you use Seiko Fat Bars then nothing is perfect. The don't have double flanges so they suck getting them out. The newer Tudors have super tight clearances, to the Horofix I posted about works great on them. Drilled lugs a push pin works the best. Older Rolex's with single flange spring bars work best if they use a small v-fork tool. There so many variables and there is no perfect tool for every watch.

Hell in all honesty patience, steady hands, head mounted magnifier, tape (if your steadiness sucks like mine does) and a decent tool works the best. Not mention a shot of whiskey.
