All except a couple have been opened from their factory-fresh tightness. So I doubt it's true that if it's closed as tight as it should be the ball won't open it. This ball puts the others to shame and will save you a bundle! This ball has never failed to open a caseback – worked on about 15 or 16 watches.

A guy in my class has had good luck with a similar ball. I've been able to open cases that the case opening tool couldn't open just by breathing on my hands and twisting. Maybe it is all in the wrists. :D PS. I just discovered your blog and I love it! I am a first-year student at NSCC.
