Watch repair tool sources
Other than eBay and Amazon, what are some good places to find watch repair tools and kits?
Nothing special, just items to open case backs, close case backs, change batteries, basic stuff.
Thank you!

I enjoy backpacking, hiking, and photography. I have only recently started on watches, but am enjoying learning all about them. I work as an injection molding operator for a small company for 25 years...

Aliexpress or Temu if you want them cheap. The diy mod watch companies sell higher end kits.

Yeah, I don’t want anything too cheap, I hope to only buy them once.
This isn't a 100% of the time thing, but harbor freight has some really decent and affordable options for tiny screwdrivers and tweezers and some magnifying options too. Not specifically for watch making but they do the trick! I just went by to get a precision screwdriver kit so I could resize my jubilee bracelet!
You can get a starting point kit from Amazon👍🏻

That’s what I’m hoping for. Esslinger has some good stuff, but they stick you on shipping!! Oh well, I get spoiled with “free” shipping, nothing is free, SOMEBODY has to pay the postage!
