There are a lot of
basic tools available that are used in repairing watches. The starting tools
are a pair of good tweezers and screwdrivers. If you are passionate on watch
repair then don’t forget nippers, punches, pliers of different shapes and
sizes, hand pullers, a demagnetizer and also a watch case opening and closing
tools. There are some more specialized tools like the truing caliper and a
timing machine and a polisher and also a lathe if you take up watch repair
seriously.
This Screwdrivers
6 Kits is an important tool in a watch repairman’s kit as it
plays the important role in dismantling and re-fixing the delicate and minute
parts of a watch. The Swiss screwdriver is a safe bet because they have
revolving tops that are easy to use. If you find them expensive or if they do
not fit in your budget try the French screwdrivers they are too are good. India and Pakistan also manufacture
screwdrivers that are pretty cheap but don’t forego on the quality.
The Screw-driver
sets are used by professional watchmakers all over the world and
there are several varieties available. You can pick and choose from the site.
Of course cheaper sets are available at bulk rates and there are several
companies which sell the same sized screwdrivers for a fraction of the Bergeron
rate. But be advised that the Bergeron screwdrivers are made for use only with
watches and nothing else. Very rarely do you get second hand sets, as no
watchmaker will give his tools to buy newer ones. They just prefer to sharpen
existing tools as each instrument has a comfort level already built in. Cheap
sets are also not calibrated to be anti-skid and anti-scratch. All
high-precision time pieces are built with specially coated tiny screws for the
repetitive motion that watch parts have. Using a cheap screwdriver may do more
damage than repair. The cheap screwdriver may also scratch the interior casing
of high-quality watch pieces and this reduces its overall value and resale
value too.
There are several
sets you can choose from like the economy 16 piece basic precision watchmakers
screwdriver set, 6 pieces screwdriver set with flat blades, top quality 11
piece basic watchmakers precision screwdriver set etc made to fit every budget.
Each set is ergonomically designed to fit into the palm of your hands to allow
for easy movements and actions. They also come color-coded for easy reference.
The Bergeron system also has a huge complete selection with separate blades of
every size in a tube. This is the best and most complete set you could ever
want. The blades can also be re-polished if required but it’s a better idea to
send them back to the company for just that instead of doing it at the work
place. The Bergeron system also labels each screwdriver from the smallest of
about 0.50 up to 3.0 millimeters. If you require it they have a heavy stand
which prevents the screwdrivers from being lost or knocked about.
