Tool Question

[jdrichard]

Bought these tools and for the life of me I can't remember what they are and how they are used. Very stupid question but can someone help me here.

Jewelling tools. For spreading the settings for rub-in jewels.

They are also very handy for adjusting timing screws on a balance wheel when the screws don't have a slot for a screwdriver. Providing they are the screw type.

Ok. These are jewelling tools...

For spreading...

For closing...

These are for timing screws - they are similar but have different size notches for different size screws...

Thanks Mark. I'll just need a reason to use them now:)

[jdrichard]

So the ones I have are for Spreading and not for holding. Correct?

Indeed

At some point I may make a video on their usage. Maybe next time I have occasion to use them.

Actually, looking at the heads of mine, I think they are for closing

They really do look like for spreading, but I cannot see the tips clearly so I could be wrong.
