My other clock hands broke and I almost repurchased the entire clock until I happened upon this item. I was having guests over and didn’t want a broken clock in the living room so I needed a guaranteed easy fix. The directions were simple and pretty easy to put together. I popped it right into the previous base and was done.The hands are fragile so handle carefully.Once it’s up, you don’t have to worry about it.Looks good, works perfectly, and I am happy.
