The problem with these clock hands are that they have to be light and easily bend and crease. You can usually see the scratches or imperfections on the hands, unfortunately. That said, they're all like that. These hands attached pretty easily but I did have to press the minute hand down and expand the hole for it to fit. A little pressure worked but I was worried I'd break it. The battery was easy to install and then it worked. It's also been dropped off the counter once and everything held together. So overall, not bad.

3/20/25 This is review for High Torque Quartz Clock Movement Kit - 12" Spade Hands, Easy DIY Wall Clock Assembly, Perfect for Clock Repair & Custom Projects (Black). Clock repair kits are an economical way to keep from having to throw your clock away. We have experience with this type of kit and have done a replacement on our clock many years ago. One tip when ordering this is to make sure that ALL of the measurements on your clock, including the thickness of the clock itself, the length of the hands, distance between the hands, etc. match what you're buying. If it fits, it's easy to replace. You just basically disassemble the old movement and install this one. The instructions indicate there is a minute hand on this set (there is not), which may be confusing to some when doing so. Further, the clock hands included with this set are not the best quality and it is obvious when your clock is on the wall. You really have to be careful not to bend them when installing or moving them. So far, it seems to be keeping ok time at about a few weeks in, but given the quality, I'm not sure how long this is going to last. At $16.89, which is overpriced compared to other similar sets, I'd expect better.

I ordered this since the quartz motor in a family heirloom clock (40 years old) had failed. Very nice replacement, a direct remove/replace got my clock back in action in about 5 minutes. (Remove the old hands, remove one nut which holds the motor in place, remove old motor, then insert new motor/shaft and put the nut back on then then hands. Insert AA battery and it works!).Quartz/AA battery powered motor is a standard replacement and was packaged nicely. ADVICE- I only needed the motor since I had my old clock, clock face and old hands all of which were in good shape. I didn't read up on the hands - these ARE BIG hands, the minute hand is 12 inches from the center hole and the hour hand is 8 inches - all of which was stated in the product description. Just be sure that if you also need the hands that it will fit your project. They look great, I just didn't need them. Great value for the money.

Just what I needed to replace old hands on an old open-faced clock that I've had for 10+ years. The hands had fallen off several times and were bent/straightened so many times they are totally mangled. This was easy to install. These are for a clock with a very large face! The minute hand is very long so keep that in mind when you're looking to replace on your clock!

My favorite clock died. The mechanism was spinning around instead of the hands, and I knew it was time to replace it. I saw this movement was heavy duty and the hands were pretty so I grabbed it without too much thought. My bad! I didn’t notice that the hands were 12 inches long! I should have paid more attention, right? I don’t know what I was thinking. As you can see by the photos, the clock I wanted to put this on was not going to be using the 12 inch hands.However, I could see the mechanism was the right size. In fact it was the same as what was on the old clock. The set is a really nice quality, and the hands are very pretty.Since I am a see if you can fix it kind of gal I thought the old hands would maybe fit the new movement. I took the old clock apart, and found that the movement fit just fine. I then found my old hour-hand also fit perfectly. I was quite excited it would work until I tried to put the smaller old minute-hand on. The brass insert would not fit over the new mechanism! OH NO! So close to working…After puzzling over the problem a while I realized all the hands are aluminum. The new large minute-hand has a counter weight on the short end with a fairly large circle in the center. It has a rounded slot-type hole to fit on the new movement that is just barely larger than the brass fitting in the old hand. I got an idea.I gently wiggled the brass fitting out old minute-hand. Aluminum is a very soft metal and brass is hard so it was fairly easy to do. Then I cut the ends off the new minute-hand leaving the central circle with the correct slot in it. Super glue attached the old hand to the new slotted circle and voila, it fit!The clock works great now. The new movement has kept perfect time since I replaced it, and the adjustment I made to fix it doesn’t really show at all.This is a long story to tell you that this is a nice repair set. If you have a huge clock to repair this is a wonderful choice. If you have a smaller clock looking for a smaller hand set is a good idea. This movement is working accurately even with the smaller hands. I’m so happy to have my clock working again! I hope you like my story.

My wife wanted to make a giant clock out of a thirty-inch ornamental ceiling decoration so I ordered this long shaft with long hands clockworks. I was able to mount it by cutting an opening in the center and fitting the works behind a white aluminum circle. The minute hand was just a bit too long and bumped into the ladybug ornaments, but easy to cut a quarter inch off the end.I have read some people having problems with this stopping or not keeping accurate time but so far after running for over 3 hours it is perfect and deserves a five star rating for the value. It appears to be absolutely identical to a listing by another company that has over 5000 mostly positive reviews and is charging a bit more for theirs. If I have problems later I will edit and revise down this rating.
