Although not specified in the product details, the buffing and polishing cloths have different grains or textures. The buffing cloth has a some rough texture to help clean the watch and the polishing cloth has a much smoother texture to help keep the watch shiny.

The larger of the metal tools includes a V groove on one end and a jeweler's screwdriver on the other. The smaller of the metal tools includes the same V groove on one end and a round punch on the other that can be used to remove the pins holding the band together. I have no idea what the V grooves are used for and no instructions were included in the kit to explain their usage.

The downside to the kit is the watch sizing tool. Allegedly you unscrew the pusher from the sizing tool, put the band into the sizing tool, and then screw the pusher down to push the pin out of the band. Unfortunately, this is easier said than done because the watch sizing tool does not align the band with the pin and the band keeps sliding around.

After trying to remove the pins the recommended way, I finally unscrewed the pusher completely from the holder, threw the holder out the window, and used just the pusher to remove the pins from the band--worked like a charm.

The carrying case is nice, but the zipper provides only a small ring to open and close the case. If you intend to use the case often, I highly recommend adding a chain to the zipper to make it easier to open and close the case.

Overall, this could have been a really nice product but I think Invicta skimped on quality in some areas. The cloths are great, but the remainder is either so-so or inadequate.

Own seven Invicta watches and everytime a watch needs adjustment, it's a trip to the mall and plunking down $10 average. This takes all that away. Provides a nice variety of tools and works well.
