Watchmaker Screwdrivers! As good as Bergeon! 

I see you have a microscope, it would have been nice to see really close up side by side. But thanks for the tip!

China makes low quality but it also makes high quality, but because of branding it’s difficult to know which is which

Amazon link says brand/model is Optima 55-640 is that correct? Might you have a new link to where they are available?

Otto Frei has a nice set made in France with replaceable tips including the rotating base for $56

They are sold under a number of brand names. These screwdrivers work quite well indeed. Ignore the insecure critics who think they need to hide behind an expensive brand.

Hi. The link is no longer valid. Do you have an update please?

It’s easy for Chinese companies to replicate these screwdrivers. They look the same, but the steel quality is subpar.

Do these say "made in France"? I have a set of Eurotool from Esslinger and it was 6 for $22 and they seem well made. They appear to be identical in the same blue pouch that are sold as A*F Switzerland.

Bought the set.The 3rd smallest size bent/ twisted while using.Admittedly,was on a stuck screw that held a spring down in a 50 year old watch.Could NOT get the screw out so had to stop at that point since it was holding down the movement works gear.I used two of the other sizes and they performed well..........on screws that were NOT stuck.....same watch.( seconds hand works but hour and minutes hand do not move except when adjusting with crown......loose canon pinion suspected......just could not get to it to crimp it tighter. I will be able to repair the tip of the driver with a sharpening stone.......just was disappointed it bent as easy as it did.😕

Didn't bother watching the complete video, as usual not stocked any more.....

These aren't available anymore

Thank you very much for your help. I’m not rich, I bought really cheap ones and they are total crap. Made out of dog food tins I think.

Amazon says they are no longer available......

I bought these after seeing your video. Hands down they are as good if not a little bit better my bergeon 360 bucks for half the price and a more complete selection

Thank you for this informative video. I'm taking the plunge into hobby watch making, and the price of tools is ridiculous. Most of the stuff that says "Made in Switzerland" is made in Asia, with the add-on being the logo in Europe. It's good to know that there are quality tools available to hobbyists who don't have the financial resources to buy the branded stuff.

Link is no longer working (unavailable). Suggestion for another on Amazon comparable?

This looks like a good tool. Let's give it a try. Thanks for sharing!

Yeah but they ain't fly, my man. If these sit on my desk I do not think I'm cool, which I am. I feel like I made it when I get my Horotecs out. I no longer need to get less expensive screwdrivers.

Great channel I hope all has eased in Florida with the hurricane..

I bought these and and I was disappointed. The bearing on the top is gritty and causes resistance when turning. I broke a couple of tips fairly quickly unscrewing tight watch screws. I returned them because if these deficiencies, but was charged nearly a $40 restocking fee. I would not recommend them.

Not sure I see the difference between cheap and pricey screwdrivers.If blades are hard and kept stoned properly then it should make no difference.

When you click the link, the brand is not Armway, they are Optima and currently unavailable as well. I sure would love to buy the Armway drivers.

Link is dead. Do you know where I can source these or a comparable set?

I bought a $9 dollar set of Chinese screwdrivers and replaced the blades with broken drill bits that I annealed. Works well. Blades are very hard and hold their shapes well. No point on wasting money.

awesome screwdriver set peter

Where are they made?

where can i find these in 2022?

Pity theses drivers are no longer purchasable anywhere

They are pavoned harden steel? What's your opinion vs stainless steel ones?

I bought a set of these right after breaking a Bergeon tip. They were just as much garbage as the Bergeon's. I need to find a 20+ years-old set to see if they are worth a damn. Alternatively, I am considering just machining my own tips and then hardening them.

Great video all sold out thanks for information

no longer available...any other options ?

are they sold under a different brand/model # in 2022? i can't find these on Amazon or in stock elsewhere!

Out of stock.

New link?

Out of stock. Bummer.

These are made in Taiwan, enough said!

Yo all these screwdrivers fucking suck yo!
