How to Use Spring Bar Tools for Watch Strap Replacement
Replacing a watch strap is one of the simplest and most common repairs in watch maintenance. The spring bar tool is the essential instrument used to safely remove and install watch straps without damaging the lugs or strap.
At Forjax Tools Pakistan, we manufacture precision spring bar tools trusted by professionals, workshops, and DIY enthusiasts worldwide.
🔹 What is a Spring Bar Tool?
A spring bar tool is designed to:
- Remove spring bars (the tiny rods that hold the strap in place).
- Install new watch straps quickly and safely.
- Prevent scratches on the case or strap.
It usually has two ends:
- Forked End – For compressing the spring bar.
- Pointed End – For pushing out bars from drilled lug holes.
