Tool of the day.

[Neverenoughwatches]

No its not me, although I've been called one a few times. Today's tool is in fact this . It has one purpose and its purpose can be achieved with many other tools. Of which i have a few, but like many tasks in watch repair there are many ways to cook an egg. And its advantageous to have some of these extra tools in your arsenal to try more than one way. Its not a difficult guess so no pros please, if you know you know dont spoil the fun of the puzzle, just say i know what it is.  One little clue it obviously does the same task as the other tools but in a different more controlled way and not necessarily better just different. Different folk will have different views on that . Oh and I'm hiding part of it because that might give it away too quickly.

Aye sir it is indeed. I took a risk as it looked a bit pants on the sellers photo and i thought it might be cheap chinese but there were other items that boosted the sale. It is made by the Farco tool company so it is actually cheap Italian .  Chill amici joke. The quality isn't bad at all . 

[rossjackson01]

Well I never? I was half right was I not? Insertion tool ...ish. 

Good this game innit?

By the way Neverenough. Don't know if you have realised. I was a lookalike for Bruce. Lived too far from London to make it profitable for the tv company. Ah well.

You were getting warm Ross the main clue was covered, it was just the way you said it had a certain connotation . I can see the similarity and I'm convinced you have the same charm.

[Galilea]

Wow, neverenoughwatches, what on earth is it, and where on earth did you find it? That thing... how big is it?  I am with all the other guesses, but what about that needle - like top? Probably the whole thing is not even really a watch tool at all.  Maybe it's just me, but is it perverse?

If the entire mystery has yet to be solved, then the "insertion" part.... does it blow up the little rubber balls for case back removal, and you are hiding the air tube? Or is it for making those tiny holes in eggs when you want to boil them?

Can you reveal the missing part yet? Did you already and I missed it (still early here)?

Also -  a caliper, a hand inserter, a mainspring winder?  Tattoo gun?

Haha you are so hyper . The needle was covered as i thought it was a dead give away. As it happens without it shown it could have been a number of things. Its for redenting a canon pinion that has become loose. If you look on the outside of a cannon pinion you will see a small indent, look inside and you will see the indent protrude ( not all cannon pinions ) . This can lose its grip on the center wheel arbour. The tool, the cannon pinion fits over the needle this prevents the cannon pinion from being crushed by the jaws . The needle is also tapered to adjust indent depth. So there you are. A diy suggestion is a pair of nail clippers and a copper wire insert ( i think Nucejoe invented that one ).

Thats wonderful news, if its to be when you know everything then i shall speak to you in the next life .

Did I say until I know everything? Oh, no, that was a typo. I meant to say until after breakfast. Thanks for the tool puzzle, it was loads of fun. In general, however, most of these threads go way over my head - so back to my classes.

This response is not automated, you crack me up (that's American for you are sort of funny, lol).

But in the watch realm, what do you call that tool? I cannot imagine I would need one, but... I suppose those who can, do - the rest of us just buy all the gear and stall.

Well. I am up to Part 1.6 now in class, the Watch Movement part. Now I know all about tools (have them all), fluids (ditto), glasses (If deco, have all), crowns (have all kinds), pushers (who needs watches with extra knobs?), and all that stuff. I need a break before this upcoming part (focusing on quality not speed) but I am gaining on you.

You are one swell friend, and I thank you. Don't worry your pretty head about my ability to grasp the information, I am doing just fine. I mean, wait if you like, but I am not slowing down for corners or anything.

Now tell me. Just which tools do you need proof of right now? If you tell me what it is called, and show me a picture, I will produce all of whatever it is.
