A bunch of watches have been found in the drawer, several needing new batteries. 'Ebay' I cry as seek a suitable tool to remove the screw backs.

We all like a new tool- but really, a rubber ball? Before I part with my hard earned 99p, can anyone advise me as to whether or not this thing might actually work?

A length of duct tape rolled into a golf ball sized ball, with sticky side on the outside, should do the job. Worked for me in the past.

Too slow, I thought I could have gotten rid of my spare tool that I bought when I lost the first one in the cupboard of doom.
