HELP: Identifying tool

Is anyone aware of a maker (or source) for a similar tool? Appears to be tools for separating bracelet links from the friction pins.

I wish I knew where to get one of those. Would come in very handy for repairing stretched bracelets. I've never seen one.

a competent machine shop can make the tool.

I second that. I would pay good money for one of these. Have no clue where to get one made. Someone could make a tidy sum from these.

I've been wondering if it's possible to use one of these bezel removers to provide the basic mechanism and have the extra bits machined to bolt onto one?

Sure, why not? It takes some time to make but definitely doable.

I bought a set of this tools on Ebay a few years ago. The price was high but the quality of the tools is good. After what I heard, these tools were only made a few of.
