MKS Meikosha spring bar tool 46000

A classic all-rounder for band changes

MKS (Meikosha) from Japan has been part of the standard equipment of professional watchmakers for decades. The 46000 spring bar tool is the classic all-rounder for everyday strap changes – robust, precise, and ideal for leather straps, simple metal bracelets, and standard spring bars.

The handle is slim, fits securely in the hand, and features an engraved scale for quick and easy checking of the strap width and lug width. At each end are a fine point for pressing spring bars and a fork for prying them out – perfect for quick, clean strap changes without slippage.

Compared to the spring bar tool 46010 , the 46000 is designed to be more universal and is the first choice if you are looking for a versatile standard tool for almost all “normal” strap changes.

Note on the difference
If you frequently work on particularly narrow lugs or very “fussy” metal bracelets (e.g., modern sports and diver watches), the spring bar tool 46010 ideally complements the 46000 – but the 46000 remains your universal daily driver on the watchmaker's workbench.
