This kit contains a very common type of clock movement. It's used in most of the cheaper clocks out there. It's known as a "5168".I was able to fix both of the clocks shown in my photos using this kit. The outdoor clock would stop working about every year or two. I spray-painted hands from this kit yellow to provide better contrast than what I'd had before.The garage clock worked longer after I bought it but started slowing down and keeping the wrong time.I had replaced the movement in the outdoor clock once before, using one of the inexpensive movements I bought here on Amazon but it quit working maybe a year later.After reading reviews on this kit, I realized that I'd been over-tightening the nut that holds the movement onto the clock face every time I tried to fix one of my clocks. Doing that causes premature failure of the movement due to stress on the gears or misalignment.Pros:Movement uses a sweep second hand.Quiet! No more "clicking" resonating on hollow walls.Eight clock movements in the kit.Twelve pairs of hands of different colors and lengths.Three different shaft lengths.Inexpensive! ($15 in 2024)The second hand attaches securely by screwing into the movement shaft.Quick to install - fairly easy to replace a clock's movement in about 15 minutes.Cons:It's a bit difficult to get the hour and minute hands to press onto their respective shafts - the second hand is the easiest to attach.Summary:I may not use one or two of the movements in the kit with the short shaft lengths but the kit was cheap enough that it doesn't matter. I may get a clock one day that can use them.I suspect that many people just throw away clocks that stop working.With a kit like this, just fix it!

Nice kit. Comes with multiple motors and multiple styles of arms. Has a second hand as well. Installed it 2 months ago and it is still keeping accurate time. Highly recommended.

I like the variety of hands for my vinyl record clocks! They work properly and add a nice touch!

I replaced the worn out drives in two clocks and changed hands on one of them. Seller was prompt with delivery. One couldn’t reasonably ask for more.

Great clock kit for the person who likes to keep their stuff repaired. I actually needed two to repair broken clocks but used 3 others to make other clocks quiet. No more ticking.

I bought these to try to get the hands larger and bolder. Preference was more straight instead of the points etc. they work, just not what I had in mind
