Bergeon 6767-S Springbar Tool by Bergeon

Product Information

A watch’s strap or bracelet is almost always held in place by two small steel spring-loaded bars that fit between the lugs, and while removing them doesn’t necessarily require a dedicated tool, using one certainly makes the operation easier. Many of these tools also come with a micro-flathead screwdriver for use in removing links from bracelets, making them even more useful. This fine quality steel spring bar tool is designed to last a lifetime. It is the perfect tool for removing spring bars from metal and leather watch bands. The forked end works great for opening spring bars, and the pointed end is just right for compressing shouldered spring bars from the lug holes. The weight, handle knurls, and size make this watch tool ideal for the delicate job of adjusting the size of watch bands or repairing a watch clasp. Each tip is removable and has identical threading making it easy and convenient to change or replace the tips as necessary for repair work.

WatchObsession's selection of premium-quality Bergeon watch tools are here to cater to a wide variety of watch maintenance needs. If watchmakers have trusted Bergeon for over 2 centuries, I was confident that their spring bar tool would be a perfect addition to my small collection of basic watch tools. Versions of the 6767 Spring Bar Tool Changing your watch strap or bracelet is one of those relatively simple operations that anyone should be able to do at home. With a little practice and know-how, it’s possible to learn how to change most straps, but there’s one tool that makes the job much easier: the humble spring-bar tool. The one-piece tips are machined from hardened tempered steel and are made to the Swiss level of quality we’ve come to expect. They are flawlessly finished with no burrs or rough edges unlike the lower quality alternatives on the market. Both the fork and pin tips have a long threaded base to screw into the body. The long threads are secured deep into the handle body to ensure the tips are able to withstand the high torque and pressure need to remove strong spring bars. Overall, this spring bar tool exceeds my expectations when it comes to quality and ease of use. It will no doubt last a lifetime, especially since the tips can be replaced if they become worn out. The saying “You get what you pay for” is perfectly fitting for the 6767-F; the cheap spring bar tools don’t compare to the quality you get by spending a little more on this Swiss made Bergeon.Bergeon produces several different product lines of spring bar tools such as “Heavy Duty” and “Next Generation”, however, the 6767 line is the most popular due to its simplicity and affordable price. Within the 6767 spring bar tool line, they offer three different models to choose from depending on the style of watch band you are removing. Three Versions of the Bergeon 6767 Spring Bar Tool I agree with the review, but watch out for breaking the pointed tip. I have broken two of them (thanks for the link so I can now buy one :), so I think I need to be very gentle and careful with those. Spring bars are spring-loaded metal tubes that hold the strap in place between a watch's lugs. They fit into tiny holes on the inside of a watch's lugs. When changing a strap you need to remove them from these holes, and this is where the spring bar tool comes in.
