I purchased a spare set of screwdrivers from EBay last week and the service (and screwdrivers) was second to none at the price.

This is the second set I have bought and can recommend the quality of the screwdrivers as I have been using the first set for two and a half years now. I live in Scotland and the company is in Hong Kong. The order was placed late evening on the 13th March and the were delivered yesterday morning 19th March. Total cost for nine screwdrivers, nine spare blades and a rotary holder INCLUDING delivery............£5.59.

They also sell a case opener for £4.19 including delivery. Links below.

With all the talk about screwdrivers lately, I would just like to report that I have been using these regularly for nine months now and am well pleased with them. They have proved excellent and have removed many really tight screws, in some cases so tight that the heads sheared without any damage to the drivers. They have neither bent or broken and have only been dressed once, and that was when I received them.

I have since bought another two sets and have dressed them to cover a great range of screw slots, and have had no problems with these either.

Some Chinese translations are way off the mark. They did send screwdrivers though. :-)

Thanks for confirming.

Wish I'd bought those. The Anchor ones i got just came in a pouch for the same price after postage charges were added [emoji20]

Same title description as the ebay one.

Same seller???

I han't noticed, it was a few months between purchase. One fro EBay and the other was direct from China.

And just like that, they are sold out! WRT knows good deals when we see them  :money:

I don't need drivers right now, but I'd be a buyer at that price for the holder, and the couple of larger drivers I don't frequently use.

Will keep an eye out for them to come back in stock.

      A lathe with indexing that won't break the bank?

      By coreymsnow · Posted

      Hi folks, I'm doing some homework on getting a watchmaker's lathe, and it's clear I have a lot to learn. But I know one goal: I want to be able to fabricate wheels, which would require an indexing capability. I know how to use large lathes- like, giant metal lathes- but my experience is a few decades old now (but you never forget the smell of the metal cutting oil). So I'm looking to learn anew, and have a goal to get to a point where I can fabricate some basic watch parts. I also have no specific timeframe and want to do this right, so I'll be patient and learn what I need to before spending the money. I know I'm not going to get anything for a pittance, but I'm also not really able to put together the scratch for a $5-$10k lathe. What's out there for a hobbyist that can either handle some fabrication out of the box or can be relatively easily made to do so? Thanks!

      Hello and welcome to the WRT forum.   This usually points to broken balance pivot.  Though a watch in need of clean & lube can do the same. Easiest diag would be to  see if balance pivot doesn't stay in hole jewel of the setting, when you lift one side of balance rim with an oiler or gently with pair of tweezers. Another would be to detach balance complete from the cock and take a look at pivot under high maginfication.  Regs

      Ahhh, yes.  I hadn’t thought of that.  I’ve serviced quite a few of these and the first time I didn’t realise it was a ships strike pattern!  Ha ha, confused me totally until I realised.

      Help with Hermle ships clock

      By Rixy · Posted

      Hi Mike, I did, thanks. Found this clip that was really helpful:   It says Seth Thomas but it's actually the same Hermle I've been working on. I'd had it working correctly all along but hadn't noticed that the lever with the sprung end stops the hammer a bit short of the bell on the second ding at the end of the half-past sequence. If only I'd put the bell on when testing, rather than just looking at the hammer, my ears would have told me it was working,  even if my eyes didn't!
