My daughter has a thing like that for cleaning the inside of her fish tank. That could be a far cheaper option!

What is wrong with a magnetic knife holder on a stick? I use one (the handle makes it looks like a T) and I don't have to bend over!

Because it doesn't have Bergeon written on it :D

Them fliers are a pain. Recently I purchased from a craft shop a A3 sheet of plastic/paper board that I have placed under my mat. I have found this really helps when looking for the flier. I also have a tiny raised ridge at the front of my work bench that has saved many a tiny screw from disappearing into the carpet.

I recently build a "parts catcher" out of a very transparent bag. I simply cut the bottom off so I could use my two hands one through each end to work on a watch I placed inside. I'm about to make a bigger one but I need to build a wire frame for it...

Hi all,

Just joined so this is my first post..

I have just received one today and to be absolutely honest I don't think they are worth the money!! all it is is a piece of card with a magnet attached so build quality is rather poor in my opinion...

Best wishes

Welcome to the forum daz and thank you for your input. That proof that "all that glitters is not errr....Bergeon?"

Thanks Bob,

 

Very disappointed with this item from Bergeon, like everybody I have parts go flying and thought what a great item this would be, but when it turned up today I was left thinking why had I spent £12.00 on this...

You are welcome Darren,

 

I know what you mean, I recently wanted to have a back opening knife other than the cheapo I got free with a purchase and bought the bergeon one. It is a good knife but believe me, it didn't open any more watches -- or better -- than the older, no brand, I had. So there went my $20! On the other hand, and to be fair, their screwdrivers are very good (but grossly overpriced like all the other good brands).

No problem WatchRepairGuy

I just did not want anyone spending good money on this and to be left disappointed upon receipt

bob - I know what you mean I just bought one myself (Bergeon again) as this was the only Brand I could find with Left handed blade the only others were the cheapos...
