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

Darren

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...

    • Ok thanks Ross, I will give that a try!😁
    • Welcome my friend. 
    • Been there. Worn that Tshirt.  'ping'. Hands and knees. Nothing. Nada. 20 minutes? Ha! I found it 7 month later. How? Well, after advice from a member, I invested in a £4 UV light torch.  Hands and knees looking for a 'ping' from a Sekonda, found them both within 30 seconds. UV makes the jewel shine. easy peasy. Could have taken longer. Just lucky on the location of the search. Hope this helps.
    • Thanks Dell. I thought about silver soldering. Have never done it but would like to give it a go. Do you think to put flux on the butted joint then run the solder in or to maybe brace it with a piece of scrap spring steel?
    • Never and others. Yes, like you I do spend a fair amount of time reading the contents of this forum. I find it better that any other. Clear, lucid, no Prima Donas, and most of all an easy access without adverts. All thanks to Mark. God bless you mate. You give so much to many of us. What if? No Mark? Hypothetically. A forum. I did run a forum for a few years. Really enjoyed it, but became so engrossed that it did affect my health. I gave to to others to run. Not been back. It was very successful and rivalled a number of large paying sites. No adverts, no others but me. I did ask and listen to members comments and it worked well.    Costs Having a domain name, £10 annually.  Register the site with a forum company, free. Build the site using the forum company guide lines, free. It looked and ran almost the same a Mark's. All the same facilities. The cost was only £5 per month, but counted visits (views). If I recall, it was that price for 5,000 views. Each extra 5,000 views increased the price by £2 per month. Success was my own personal undoing. From £5 per month initially, it rose to £60 a month and looked like increasing. This was 10 years ago. I could not afford that, and asked it anyone would like to take over and someone did. I would assume that this is the price that Mark is funding for us all. His return is our continued comments on the internet about his course, and the fact that many of the big names on YouTube mention him as their Tutor. Those of us who have done, and are still using, his course, benefit. In comparison to other courses, I can't believe how cheap it is, and the value is exceptional. It is the structure that gives the value. Long may Mark reign. Ross
