Screwdriver set recommendations


Recommended Posts

Hello all, I'm looking for a new screwdriver set. I'm curious as to what everyone would recommend. I've used bergeon and liked them, what is the best set for maybe a 5-10 hours a week watchmaker. Looking for something that will work for all watches and will hold up, steel blades I would think are best. Any advice would be appreciated

I will certainly recommend Horotec Swiss MSA 01,201-XX series. It has ball bearings, can be bought individually, so you can build up your set. but most importantly ... It is found in  entirely 17 sizes.

Sizes: Ø0.50, 0.60, 0.70, 0.80, 0.90, 1.00, 1.10, 1.20, 1,30, 1.40, 1.50, 1.60, 1.80, 2.00, 2.50, 3.00 & 3.50mm

Before buying an expensive set of umpteen sizes, make sure you have an use for them. For example, on the Seikos I work with, I use almost exclusively 1.60. I do not consider necessary to have a brand/fetish brand to wind up the barrel or such other trivial tasks. Once, I've bought a "quality" driver of an odd size for an one-off job. It has been sitting there since then.
