Case back opener

[TheFixer]

Not posted for a while so I hope you can forgive the question.

Can any kind soul suggest a good case back opener for press on backs, just broken my current one  and want something better sub £100 hopefully.

One that can get bezels off as well may be handy.

Thank you.

Thanks gents looking into it.

This may fit the bill.

I use the Horotec model with big knurled handle. Very good for difficult case backs.

I use this and find it excellent - the edge of the blade is quite blunt, so it reduces the risk of injury, but it is good enough to open most cases (especially if there is a groove/ recess) - You could always sharpen it anyway but I found it was perfectly fine as is.

I have many tools for snap backs, and while there are a few exceptions where a different tool is better, for 99% of watches this is the best thing I have found

I agree with mikesomething, but the one show below is excellent too in my view. Cousins C0309

Again thanks guys for the suggestions it really is appreciated.

May end up with more than one tool which is not a bad thing.

What's the use of the "scooped" tip?

[NickP]

you place the edge of the scoop in the gap and twist instead of pry open. I have had a lot of success with this type and it avoids the blade to slip out dangerously when it slips. It is not the only one I use, but I like it very much
