5. Operating Instructions
These tweezers are designed for the precise removal and installation of watch spring bars, which secure watch straps or bracelets to the watch case.
5.1 Removing a Watch Strap/Bracelet
- Prepare the Watch: Place the watch on a soft, clean surface to prevent scratches.
- Position the Tweezers: Gently compress the tweezers to align the bifurcated tips with the ends of the spring bar where it meets the watch lugs.
- Compress the Spring Bar: Carefully insert the tips into the small gaps between the watch strap/bracelet and the watch lugs. Apply gentle pressure to compress both ends of the spring bar simultaneously.
- Remove the Strap: Once the spring bar is compressed, carefully pull the strap or bracelet away from the watch case. The spring bar should release.
- Retrieve Spring Bar: If the spring bar remains in the strap, gently remove it.

5.2 Installing a Watch Strap/Bracelet
- Insert Spring Bar: Insert one end of the spring bar into the hole on one side of the watch lug.
- Compress and Position: Use the tweezers to compress the other end of the spring bar. Carefully guide the strap/bracelet into position between the watch lugs.
- Release Spring Bar: Once aligned, release the pressure on the tweezers, allowing the spring bar to expand and click into the hole on the opposite lug. Ensure both ends of the spring bar are securely seated.

7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Tips do not fit around spring bar ends. | Spring bar ends may be too large or the gap between the watch case and strap is too narrow for the tool's tips. | Ensure the tips are correctly aligned. If the issue persists, the tool may not be suitable for that specific watch model's spring bar design. |
| Tips deform or break. | Excessive force applied, improper angle of use, or accidental dropping. | Use gentle, controlled pressure. Always ensure the tips are properly seated before compressing. Store in the protective case to prevent accidental damage. |
| Difficulty compressing both ends of the spring bar simultaneously. | Incorrect positioning or insufficient practice. | Practice on a less valuable watch or spare parts. Ensure a clear view of both spring bar ends and apply even pressure. |
