Easy peasy all by myself. I didn't have a thumb tack but found a tiny screw that fit the pin, and used the back of a screwdriver to hammer it thru! Thanks so much.
I did it and it worked! Instead of the thumb tack for the initial removal I used a mechanical pencil. Some of the pencils have the little metal tube that sticks out where the lead comes out that does not move in or out - some do not. I found one that I had. It was easy to push the pin out with it. I did use the tack to slightly tap it back in the last little bit (although it probably didn't need it so much).
This was extremely helpful for my watch strap. I built the jig he made with books out of pieces of wood (2 by 4's) because the pins in my strap proved difficult to remove. Thank you very much.
thank you, got my new Christmas present fitting now! after two minor puncture wounds I found its much easier to get one pin out via thumbtack method, then use that pin to push out the others with a mallet and light taps.
If you have a bench vice, place a safety pin in the vice and clamp it tight, this is much easier than balancing a thumbtack or pin on a table, and you can also crouch down below the height of the vice and look up to make sure the safety pin is located in the hole for the watch pin, before you apply the pressure to push the watch pin out, thus preventing any scratches 👍
This worked for me, but only after beating the crap out of it for an hour or so. Worked better once I broke off the sharp point of the thumbtack so it was flat ended, and I don't think it would have worked with a normal thumbtack- we happened to have some solid metal thumbtacks that were like, industrial or smth
Works a treat, thanks! I used the gap between the wooden floorboards instead of books, as this was filled and easy enough to retrieve the pin. Is interesting that using manual force doesn't do the trick, but tapping with something heavy like a power bank works every time.
Thanks! My watch has been on the shelf for months because the pin somehow came out halfway and I didn’t know how to get it back in. I used a paper clip to push it all the way out and pressed it back in with some closed tweezers.
Love your book clamp trick. I managed to take themout without hamner, just my 2 finger push on the safety pin and I'm a woman. But now I'm having troubles on assembling them back. 😂😅😅
Technique I used for the steel strap for galaxy 7 ultra smart watch was using the end of nail file on my toenail clipper to push it out a bit and then use the toenail clipper to grip it on the other end and pull it out. Probably not a good way of doing it but hey, it worked xD
@@strapify Awesome, thanks for your video too, I’m a big fan of watches and had a couple that needed the bracelet modified. Now I got to wear them over the weekend, cheers man
PLEASE. ALL OF YOU. INCLUDING THE HOST. WATCH SEVERAL VIDEOS AT LEAST. WATCH AT LEAST SEVERAL VIDEOS. BEFORE TRYING TO DO ANYTHING TO ANYTHING. I wish I did. For this issue, be advised there are a few different types of pins. And a shitload of tools and methods. I can tell you; this guy's method will work, even if it's wrong f9r other 5ypes of pins. For instance, Watch for single-screw pins, double-screw pins, collar pins are super tricky, and I'm trying to find a video for what I can only describe as "Concentric-circle, on one end, pins with the other end just wide, flat, smooth-ended" pins from Asia. I don't EVEN know what keywords to search with. But I AM learning. Please take my advice and learn from as many people as you can stand. You might need your favorite beverage, but you'll feel pretty cool about knowing what you're doing. I mean really knowing. Good luck. P.S.: BTW, I did learn something from this video too. Just saying...
I bought a cheap one off Amazon for a fitness watch. Dicked around with it for 20 minutes, couldn't even get one to budge, so I spiked it off my concrete floor. Amazingly the pins all budged then! Problem solved by throwing these horrible bands in the trash and buying anything but these. Seriously its 2023, there are better ways to make things that adjust.
You are a fucking legend, thank you so much. All I could find were videos advertising those stupid tools before I found this. My watch now fits perfectly thanks to you. ❤

Why do you lie? Its nothing like this

Thank you so much! Lost my tool and didn’t think I’d be able to adjust my watch without it. Used the back of an earring and it worked too. Cheers mate

Glad to hear mate!

That's super risky
Worked great. Saved me $30 at the local jewelers
I did it ❤ thankyou so much, you should take up teaching mate. 10/10. V happy ⌚️

Happy to hear my friend!
Well, what do i say, it worked like a charm with the books :D

is there a specific pin that I'm supposed to push out or any of them work?
👍👏Great video! Thanks for posting.
Tried this on my eidfice the pin just bent and couldnt get the link pin out. You are right about some links are tight as hell.

Thank you! Very helpful!

Tysm this worked so well

Thank you so much this video helped me a lot
Worked like a charm for me!
How about if there's no pins in it like mine?😢
I've watched a few of these videos, still having trouble.
Thank you for helpful video ❤
Thanks for the video!🌹
Thanks! Worked great!
Lifesaver, thank you!

Thank you brother ❤❤❤❤
So very useful Thank you!!

Yes you can
@@strapify Thank u!
Cheers bro
thank you so much 🥰❤❤❤❤
Listen to his voice. . . Tell me folks, this guy isn't Daniel Ricciardo. Consider it a compliment, I swear you sound just like him.
😂😂 I'll take it as a compliment. Gutted with his race in Miami today!
@@strapify Awesome, thanks for your video too, I’m a big fan of watches and had a couple that needed the bracelet modified. Now I got to wear them over the weekend, cheers man
Thank you it worked! :)
Thank you
Thnx
Thank you. 🎉
The book method works.
Bro mine doesnt have little holes to pole.
If you're brave enough the partners earrings work well 😅
My watch don’t have pins
Lost the pin.. I'm very disappointed on how it just flew or dropped where I dont even know where.
the pin is too tight ): i tried to use the screw thingy and the sim ejector it didn’t work ): i just wanna wear my watch
Could be the case. It also could be that it’s actually a screw.
I thought I would try it with a thumbtack. Watch costs $700+ so I don’t want to damage it just because I want it to fit today. I’ll go to jeweler.
Yea definitely take it somewhere. Not worth the risk
700? Wow. You must be super gay.

Why wouldnt you just remove the piece and shorten the wrist band to complete the whole video process
Nope no luck for me my links are too toght to the mall o go tomorrow lol

Mine is too tight
That's what she said 😏
Moore Edward Williams Brian Young Sandra
who tf owns a thumbtack
Lots of people
@@devilstoast2703I guess I don’t know lots of people
You should rent one
😂😂😂
They're everywhere mate do you know what an office is? Have you ever seen a notice board? Do you live at the bottom of the sea?
"Which kinda look like screws, but they're not screws" THEY WERE SCREWS! I broke 6 pins before I figured out this is wrong and I needed a screwdriver.
Thanks for your feedback. Apologies, we forgot to add a disclaimer this does not apply to screw links.
Mine wonk come out
Just get the correct tools FFS.
You are a fucking legend, thank you so much. All I could find were videos advertising those stupid tools before I found this. My watch now fits perfectly thanks to you. ❤
Cheers my man 👊🏻
