Handcrafted Straps
Aluminum tweezers for strap removal
SKU: MS-IT-MST7011
Aluminum spring bar tool
The professional tool for removing leather, rubber, FKM and nylon straps. Balanced aluminum body, hardened stainless steel tips. Dual pin size (1.2 and 1.5mm) to cover most standard spring bars.
For straps only
Important: this tool is designed exclusively for leather/rubber/FKM/nylon straps. Do NOT use it to remove steel bracelets (Oyster, Jubilee, Engineer) — the lug geometry is different and you risk damaging the case. Metal bracelets require a dedicated Rolex screwdriver kit.
Pin sizes
1.2mm pin for thin spring bars (dress watches, small vintage, Lady). 1.5mm pin for standard spring bars (sport watches, modern watches, most of the catalog). The pins screw onto the tool body — replaceable in 5 seconds.

Frequently asked questions
Is this tool suitable for removing a steel bracelet?
No. It is designed only for leather, rubber, or FKM straps. Oyster, Jubilee, and Engineer bracelets have a different lug geometry, and there is a risk of scratching the case. For those, a dedicated Rolex screwdriver kit is required.
What pin size does it have?
There are two sizes: 1.2mm and 1.5mm. The first is for thin spring bars, dress watches, or small vintage pieces. The second is for standard spring bars, used on most sporty and modern watches.
Are the pins easy to change?
Yes. They screw into the body of the tool. It takes five seconds to switch sizes.
What material is it made of?
The body is made of balanced aluminium, light yet solid in hand. The tips are made of hardened stainless steel, so they do not deform with use.
Is there a risk of scratching the lugs while removing the strap?
We recommend applying protective adhesive strips on the sides of the lugs beforehand. It is a simple precaution, but it prevents unpleasant surprises.
