Rubber Lined Watch Back Case Closing Pliers, 7-3/4"", Extra Leverage, Optical Watch Repair Tool
Securely close watch case backs with these robust pliers, engineered for precise, scratch-free application of firm, even pressure.
What it does
These pliers leverage a compound-action pivot and extended handles to multiply your closing force, making it easier to seat snap-back or screw-back cases. The wide, precisely shaped roller jaw, lined with soft rubber, grips the case back firmly without marring its finish. This design ensures a tight seal after servicing, essential for maintaining a watch’s integrity and water resistance. Constructed from durable, polished steel, they offer reliable performance for repeated use.
How to use it
- Align the case back and case rim carefully.
- Position the pliers' roller jaw over the case back.
- Apply steady, even pressure until the case is fully closed.
Who it's for
A must-have for UK watchmakers, horologists, and serious hobbyists undertaking case closures. This tool replaces the need for potentially damaging manual pressure or less controlled methods, streamlining the servicing workflow for both snap-back and screw-back designs. Also suitable for optical technicians needing controlled pressure for frame adjustments.
