Recommendation for a spring bar tool
Have been having the most frustrating time trying to reinstall the bracelets with non solid endlinks. Usually the links get stuck in a misaligned position. Is there a tool that would make things easier?

Misaligned endlink? Do you mean when you get the endlink in between the lugs the spring bar isn't aligning into the lug holes? Because if that is the case you can use a push pin to push the spring bar tip towards the lug hole.
I hope that helps. |

Look on eBay for spring bar tweezers. They really do work.

I personally use a spring bar tool like this one from bergeon:
Bergeon 3153 Watch Spring Bar Removal Tool https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002CVUO..._gVUaCbXDM6EDJ You can also get some spring bar tweezers, however I find them not that easy to use on some clasps. And bergeon is the way to go even if it's a bit more expensive,the quality of their products is not comparable with the cheap stuff Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk |

Tools like this don't need to be expensive for a consumer. And even a repair shop could get by easily with something cheaper....

Tweezers are much easier than a regular spring bar tool.

Yep. Great for almost everything and cost is minimal. Plus Swiss made.

The 6767 is a best multitasker tool. Works well on all types of springbars.
Tweezers are only good for no-holes cases - a uni-tasker. Vintage endlinks cover up the area where tweezers would operate. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
