Watchmakers Screw Driver Sets (Horotec or Bergeon)

A few guys have asked which which screw driver set should I buy and these two cover all bases

[@robertlock6041]

Hi Barry, I can't help feeling that money spent on good quality tools is never wasted... Thanks for this 😀👍

[@ClickSpringReview]

That's very true , buy cheap buy twice as the saying goes 👍🏻

Great review! I just ordered a Hototec 6 piece set, in a plastic case. I plan to use them for bracelets and Sinn U series bezels.

[@ClickSpringReview]

Excellent have you seen my Sinn bezel swap videos ?

[@user-we6up4gf7w]

Yes, I have.

Good video, I got the same. I only use Bergeon tools. My lastest Bergeons is the 7825 Sping bar tweezers. For what it's Is! Its f**kin expensive. I paid around £125 for it. But the grands I spend on these timepieces. Iam not taking any chances Lol👍🏾

[@ClickSpringReview]

Thats a good way of looking at it I use the normal spring bar tool from Bergeon , The tweezer system I may look into getting later

[@MyVideosWillCalmU]

@@ClickSpringReview Perfect for Rolex bracelets. I wouldn't use anything else now tbh. Clip them ethier side and push the head of the Rolex away from the bracelet..Bobs your uncle, and no scratches Lol

The Bergeon handles are stainless steel, the ergonomic grips are absolutely trash IMHO but the 30081-S10 set is definitely worth looking into

[@ClickSpringReview]

The Bergeon set I have in the video have plastic coloured tops I used the Horotec for work and the Bergeon for little bits at home

I'm trying to decide between 3 models, the Bergeon 7778, 6899-S09 and the 30081-S09 do you think the 7778 set is enough or are the other 2 sets worth the extra $$ for the rotating base, 3 extra screwdrivers and elastomer coating?

[@ClickSpringReview]

Hi one of the other guys has the Bergeon set with the elastomer and rotating base , and honestly its not nice the base doesn't sing like the Horotec and the elastomer makes it feel cheap , The 7778 set with the stand is great and offers good value , Are you planing to fully strip down a movement or just case backs and bracelets ?

[@RodrigoBezares]

@@ClickSpringReview thank you so much for your reply, I will mostly resize bracelets and open case backs from Cartier, GP and other Quartz watches from my collection. I won't mess with mechanical movements.

[@ClickSpringReview]

In that case stick with the 7778 set my friend 👍🏻

[@RodrigoBezares]

@@ClickSpringReview thank you so much for your suggestion Barry, you saved me approx 30 pounds. ☺️ I really thank you for being so attentive and helpful. Have a great Xmas. 🎄

@@RodrigoBezares Always glad to help Sir let me know how you get on with them , Merry Christmas

Should get/check out the T-blade screwdrivers, MUCH BETTER for removing bracelet screws.

[@ClickSpringReview]

I'm not fan of them ones at all have you ever seen a professional watch maker use them I haven't , The general idea is the the screwdriver blade will wedge lightly into the slot and not move, ride up, or slide sideways. The tip should not extend to the bottom of the slot in the screw head

[@luxman9463]

@@ClickSpringReview , never said they would be appropriate for working on movements. As I mentioned they are specifically for use on bracelet screws.

[@ClickSpringReview]

@@luxman9463 I've never had any problems with the normal type when it comes to braclets Lux

@@luxman9463 horofix has some great generic tools for that in both T and flat.

[@hansklabanz]

Bro here in Germany it costs 100€ for the set can someone buy the thing for me an ship it to me 😂 with shipping it would be like 50% of the price

[@ClickSpringReview]

Hi Sir I believe Cousins will post it to Germany for you no problems

@@ClickSpringReview That’s sick - I’d love to watch a video where you show the school and talk about the course (maybe a little like the Sinn factory video)
