Original Listing Description

One pair of Horolovar Mainspring Let Down Tools. Mainspring let down tools are used to safely unwind your clock's powerful mainspring, so that you may disassemble the movement for proper cleaning and lubrication without injuring yourself, and causing extensive damage to the movement. These tools are designed to fit over your clock's key, and work for almost all keys on the market. There are two sizes, to handle both smaller and larger clock keys. These tools are built to last, with solid cherry hardwood handles, and thick, high quality steel. To use, insert your key into the slot in the tool. Then insert the key into the winding arbor as shown in the second picture. Firmly grasp the handle, and turn the tool counter clockwise just a hair so that pressure is removed from the ratchet wheel and click*. Lift the click away from the ratchet wheel, then slightly release the pressure of your grip on the tool to allow the tool to slowly rotate in your hand until the mainspring has fully unwound. *The ratchet wheel is a brass or steel disk shaped object, with teeth that point in one direction. It has a hole in the middle, and fits over the mainspring arbor. On some clocks, it is located on the back of the back plate, and on others, it is located between the plates. The click is steel, and usually black. It pivots up and down on the screw in it's center. One side of the click is pressed between two teeth of the ratchet wheel, held in place by the click spring.
