Frequently Asked Questions

What is a clock dial wrench used for?
It grips the centre nut that holds a quartz movement to the clock face, so you can tighten or loosen it by hand without pliers slipping on the dial.

Will it fit the nut on my clock movement?
It is made for the centre nut on quartz clock movements, the ones sold for DIY wall clocks with a washer and nut on the front.

Which should I choose, the wooden or the black handle wrench?
Both have a forked tip for the centre nut. This one has a smooth wooden handle, and the other has a ribbed black handle.

Do I need a wrench, or are fingers enough?
Fingers can start the nut, but the forked tip lets you tighten it firmly so the movement does not turn when you set the time.
