Well, you may have seen my other thread on bracelet/strapo changing and how not to scratch my case back/lug area that is in inevitable. I took my Bergeon 6767-f tool and took the bit off the tool and the extra bit it comes with and a pair of snap ring pliers (available at any hardware store) and made a pair of spring bar pliers!!! No more scratching the case back/ lug area... your welcome!

I took these snap ring/retaing pliers and put the Bergeon 6767-f tips on the end . I spent $15 on this tool. The actual Bergeon spring bar pliers are $145!!!

Why don't Bergeon just put a plastic or rubber coating on the tip to stop it scratching? Is that to simplistic? |

Well, its not the tool that scratches its the spring bar or the strap alignment. With the 6767-f tool one end of the spring bar is exposed while trying to engage to the other end. |

Hahaha. The nice thing is the Bergeon bits thread in, so they are held tight and secure during strap/bracelet chages. |
