They allow you to remove links or spring bars. This is the most common maintenance task in watchmaking.    \n\nAdjusting a metal bracelet requires patience. You need to push the pins in the right direction. A plastic support prevents scratching the sides. The watchmaker\u2019s hammer should be used lightly.   \n\nLeather strap change. A fine fork is generally sufficient for the operation.\nTools for work on the movement\nCleaning and oiling require clean supplies. Oilers place precise micro-drops.
