Just getting started. Waiting on some tools to arrive, but I was able to successfully get a watch running better.

How about using a magnetised screwdriver for picking-up and fitting screw, then run the assembly through a demagnetiser. I know magnetism is a no no, but this method is less fiddly, and has worked for me on several occasions.

Find a plastic tube, cut longer than the K&D, put your tools etc in it and hold both ends. The plastic shouldn't have any effect. -
Hi, I’m thinking about upgrading my demagnetizer and wanted to check to see if anyone has experience (good or bad) with the Chinese knockoff of the Elma demagnatizer. At present I use the cheap blue job on watch movements and while a tad clunky it seems to work OK for movements. However it doesn’t really handle tools and other larger pieces (like my anvils which are very magnetized) particularly well. i also have a US made K&D demag unit but have put it aside permanently re: it is so strong I can’t hold the tools, anvil whatever stable enough while passing the piece through the donut hole and ultimately the piece ends up more magnetized then when I started. Feedback would be most welcome since I can’t justify the $299 for a Elma unit but can spring $49 for a Chinese knock off. thanks jay
