Change Your Watch Strap at Home
Refresh the look of your watch or replace a worn strap with our collection of watch strap changing tools. From precision spring bar tools and replacement tips to spring bars, tweezers and complete fitting kits, you’ll find the equipment needed to remove and install most traditional watch straps at home.
A good spring bar tool helps you reach the small gap between the watch strap and the lugs, allowing the spring bar to be compressed and removed more safely. Using a purpose-made tool can make fitting leather, rubber, silicone and fabric watch straps quicker while reducing the risk of scratching your watch.
Our collection includes tools for occasional home use as well as specialist options from respected watch-tool manufacturers such as Bergeon. Replacement fork and pin ends will also be available for compatible tools, helping you maintain your equipment instead of replacing the entire tool.

Recommended FAQs beneath the products
What tool do I need to change a watch strap?
Most traditional watch straps can be removed using a spring bar tool. The forked end compresses the spring bar between the strap and the watch lug.
Can I change a watch strap myself?
Yes. Many leather, rubber, silicone and fabric watch straps can be changed at home with a suitable spring bar tool and careful handling.
What is the difference between a fork and pin end?
The fork end is generally used to compress conventional spring bars. The pin end can be used with drilled watch lugs and for other precision fitting tasks.
Can a spring bar tool scratch my watch?
Any metal tool can cause scratches if it slips. Work slowly on a stable surface and consider protecting the watch lugs with low-tack tape.
How do I know which spring-bar size I need?
The spring-bar length normally corresponds to the watch’s lug width. This is commonly 18mm, 20mm or 22mm, although other sizes are available.
