eBay with 1SaleADay has the 16-Piece Deluxe Professional Watch Repair Tool Kit with Watchband Link Pin Remover for $5 with free shipping. Cheap set of tools to swap out batteries or remove links.

    Watch out for buy.com. I got the watch tools and use it to change my batteries and watch band. The problem is free shipping isn't the default, if you miss it it will cost you double the $6. I don't like buy.com for this shady practice.

    Overlooking the fact that Free Shipping was not the default at checkout is an oversight on your part and does not denote a Shady Practice on their part. YOU did have the option to REVIEW your order AND choose the FREE shipping at checkout.. but YOU failed to do so. Amazon.com and other web sites that offer FREE shipping but do NOT default to FREE shipping either.

    Didn't you REVIEW the order details before you clicked the final PURCHASE BUTTON?

    I guess if YOU entered the wrong mailing address at check out and they shipped it to that address and they didn't read your mind.. it would be THEIR fault and not yours.

    ^ I consider it shady when Amazon defaults to non-free shipping on their one-click-buy checkout, and anti-consumer-friendly any time any merchant doesn't default to the lowest cost shipping available for an order... but yes if/when you have a chance to change it, that's a customer burden which isn't unique to 1SAD.

    #1 That is a common practice for just that reason. I agree with you that it is deceptive, but it is the customer's responsibility to review the order before clicking the confirm button.

    This is a terrific set, btw. Well worth it at even triple the price.
