I have the big blue one on the video, the one he is reviewing, and I agree that it does a great job. I purchased sone large non-horology type (but still good quality) screwdrivers 3mm, 5mm, 7mm and so on for clockmaking that were deliberately sold as magnetized ie it was factory applied and sold as a feature. I used my demagnetizer and with one click I saw the screwdriver jump and re-orientate itself slightly on the plate and sure enough they were no longer magnetized. -
I have the Elma demagnetiser and it works well enough for watch movements. However, it's not powerful enough to demagnetise tools such as hand levers. At least my copy isn't. These days I use a Greiner Magnomatic which I was lucky to get used for just about £100. It works really well with anything which fits in it. -

Hi @Roll1ex, welcome to WRT. Is there a big second hand watch market in Mumbai? I seem to see a lot of used watches and clocks on eBay coming from Mumbai. I used to buy a watch every month from Mumbai on eBay. My mentor told me it was the best way to learn watch repair, by fixing everything that's not right. -
Here is another option, if you have the patience to sort through the parts you usually find 50-100 screws as well as some other cool stuff. Most times I get an order from these guys I get a 250g box, takes a few days, but end up with hundreds of spares and all you need is for one of them to be useful and it pays for itself. Also helps hone your tweezer skills!
