What it isA tool in its own right
Bench jobChanging a strap or bracelet

We turn the body of the 7767-S from solid stainless steel, giving it enough weight to rest quietly between your fingers. Each end takes a threaded point or fork. When a tip wears from contact with hard flanged shoulders, you unscrew it and seat a fresh one into the barrel.

Stainless steel handle

The solid handle gives the hand a firm purchase close to the work. Knurled bands cut into the steel keep your fingers from creeping toward the lug while you compress the spring.

Threaded tool ends

Both working ends screw directly into the body rather than pressing into place. This keeps the tip aligned with the axis of the tool while you compress the shoulder of the bar.

Fine fork profile

The fork is ground narrow to slip into the opening of a leather strap or between the end link and the lug horn. It seats against the shoulder without binding against the flank.

Replacing worn points

A tip that bends or blunts over time turns out with a pair of flat pliers or a pin vise. The replacement threads home against the shoulder of the barrel until it sits square.

A note that touches this tool

Changing a strap at the lugs

The order of work when a strap or bracelet comes off: which end of the spring bar tool does what, the difference between a fork end and a pin end, drilled lugs against closed lugs, and why the bracelet is held rather than gripped.
