Bergeon 55-614 6899-A10 Ten Ergonomic Screwdriver Set with Spare Blades Watch Repair Kit

I, like all watch wearers, require a good tool set to adjust bracelets. I thought I would get the best bang for my buck with the cheap tool kits. I have gone through multiples with crappy steel that would warp with bracelets that had loctite and poor screws. I finally had enough and decided to pay up for the Bergeon tools. I don't know why I waited so long, okay maybe the price. Everything has been soooo much better since I got these. Tough tasks are now simple and I don't have to worry about ruining my tools as they use great quality steel that doesn't warp under heavy torque. Trust me, get these. You will save money in the long run!!

I paid $300 (including tax) for these screwdrivers, so I expected them to be as described in a wooden storage box that will last decades, not in a cardboard package. The item description clearly shows a nice, quality wooden box and states, "Shipped in a wooden case for added protection and organization." Mine arrived in a cardboard type box, not wood.

The quality, fit and finish of this particular set should not come as a big surprise for people who are conversant with Bergeon products. But what may surprise some is the hefty price tag attached! But all in all, it is a very handy set to have for the serious watch enthusiast.

They're those really fine screwdrivers you need, but never seem to have. Good fit and feel in your hand, you can put out a great deal of torque onto some really small screws.They mostly stand up to abuse. Only times I've ever broken a blade has been doing something with the screwdriver I shouldn't be doing (yes, go buy their pin tool - it will save you a broken blade or two).

Looking to buy a decent watchband spring removal tool, I took a chance on the comparatively rather expensive Bergeon (based on previous good reviews). Examining the business ends of this tool with a 10X loupe, all concerns regarding its cost vanished. A genuine pleasure to behold and use such a beautiful and solid precision tool. A quick search then of other tools by Bergeon led me to this set of their watchmakers screwdrivers. Also wicked expensive. But there simply cannot be better miniature screwdrivers than these. Another example of superlative precision Swiss-made tools and instruments whose quality is unmatched anywhere on the planet (I'm thinking here also of Sinar view cameras, the Rolex GMT, and the Hämmerli 208,—Olympic world champion .22LR sport pistol).

I received mine and was surprised to open the box and find the screwdrivers arbitrarily arranged in the case (it is numbered so I am pretty sure the manufacturer will not place it in a disorderly manner). It is obvious that this package was opened, and eventually returned, and may probably been used as they are no longer in order. Also, most reviewers indicated that there are more than 2 blades in the smaller sizes but the one I received only had exactly two each for all the sizes. Not sure what happened to the extra blades. I am returning and re-ordering in the hope I will get a new and complete set next time around. Otherwise, I will look elsewhere.

Superb quality. Every last detail is thought of. Sturdy wood plywood case with recessed hinges. The screwdrivers are finished to the highest quality. If you want to save a bit, google Bergeron watch tools. All of them are available for less money from a watch supply website.

I only use Bergeon products, and they never disappoint !
