Quality Hardware !!! Recommendations....

Post by Wolfsatz »

Greetings all,
I've had my share of battles and frustrations with spring bars and spring tools testing my patience. I came to the realization that I am using the cheapest spring bar tools (the ones you get for free when buying a strap).

So, after many frustrations, battles and spring bars lost... I need a quality set of tools and spring bars.

I am thinking that I am willing to spend anywhere between $50 to $100 bucks depending on the set. I need a set of precision screw drivers, as I got stuck trying to replace batteries for the Hybrid Alpina smart watch.

Battles of tonight won!

A tool with replaceable tips is awesome since the tips break, and sometimes you need tips of different sizes. Esslinger. Less than $15:

I almost always start with a Bergeron 6767-SF, but will pull these out if things get dicey (like they did when I had my Hamilton Khaki).

I bought them from Amazon last year and they have treated me well so far. Seem to be high quality and the end pieces are adjustable and replaceable.
