Hey All,

This might be one of those dumb questions, but wanted to double check! I have a nice, small set of Bergeon screwdrivers that I got as my 'starter set', however they are in a flat packet and I was now looking for one of those rotating stands to make work a little easier. They seem to be tricky to find on their own, but I cam across a few options on amazon for 'magnetic rotating screwdriver holder'. I just had a little concern on the magnetic part. Would this be ok to use or could it magnetise my screwdrivers? Concerned that would be less than ideal....but maybe they're all magnetic and I'm worrying for nothing! Can anyone advise?

Hi if you are working on watches a magnet is not a good thing to have hanging about, Having a magnetic screwdriver holder is tantamount asking for problems. We demagnetise our tools on a regular basis. There are aluminium holders and plastic holders of various sizes to be had .  Personally I would avoid buying anything like that.  It’s just my opinion others may dissagre

I use a wooden screwdriver case. Not a fan of either rotating or vertical stands. This is a nine driver case I modified to hold the tenth. Has no magnetic latch.  Quite compact.

Cousins sells a 100x150 mm ridged rubber mat from India. Quite handy as well (and inexpensive)

You can get rotating screwdriver stands from watch tool supply companies like Esslinger.  I bought this one for $14, and it works fine, but am looking for a better quality one since I use it every day.

I also  found this one on amazon for $40 that looks promising based on reviews.

CasKer has a tool block, along with a selections of sets with carousels.

That ribbed mat would work fine too, but I use that for other tools I need handy like hand levers, pin vices, etc.

      B-Dip residue?

      By KarlvonKoln · Posted

      One-dip or naphtha should be safe, but are you sure it isn't magnetized?  I would also check that.  Although, if that balance is from an Elgin 760 0r 761, I would think it would have a hairspring of non-magnetic alloy.

      Replacing armoured crystal in a front loading watch case…

      By Curare · Posted

      Hi John I just did a Seiko Lord-Matic a front loader without a split stem, I used a crystal lift to remove it, although I had to have it that tight I though I was going to break the lift before the crystal would budge. So I decided that the press would be a better option as I think crystals with tension rings resist a lot of compressing. I used a crystal press to repalce it and the bezel with no issues, obviuosly a different watch to the Omega. I just took my time and kept inspecting the installation progress bit by bit Regards CJ

      Replacing armoured crystal in a front loading watch case…

      By Zendoc · Posted

      Hello All, I’m replacing the crystal in an Omega Dynamic, # 165.039, which houses a cal 552, installed through the front of the case. The replacement Sterncreuz crystal is, like the original, with tension ring. I removed the crystal using a compressed air technique to pop it out.  (I have a crystal lift, but I’m always fearful of marking the crystal edges and so avoid using it as much as possible). Now to the replacement -  any tips on putting the crystal back in?  Am I obliged to using my dreaded crystal lift to complete the task, or how about a crystal press?  I’ve put lots of crystals in using a press, but never with the movement in the watch. The thought of using one with a front-loader makes me very nervous, with the fully assembled watch sitting under the press. How would more experienced folks proceed here? Any advice, gratefully received… John Down Under…

      No thats straight out of the watch as i found it the balance wheel is almost as bad. I've never seen so much material removed.
