Hi Mike,

Make sure you post in the introduction section to tell us a bit about yourself, but that tool is a Pinion remover.

Bergeon still makes one, but I've heard its not as good as the vintage ones.

They are relatively common on ebay US,  there is one on ebay now, but unless you are in the US the postage is way too expensive on this one.

If you want a cheaper option a pin vice can be used, or a Chinese Presto style tool that will probably require some adjustment.

Like this one.

I was the red one in the video for watches and a Bergeon brand Pesto remover for pocket watch or larger movements.
