For the screwdrivers at least you can shape them with a knife stone and sandpaper, however you have to shape them A LOT more often when they’re cheap.

He’s great, I’ve also learned a ton from the Watch Repair Tutorials channel on YouTube.

Yes, I agree. I started with really cheap screwdrivers and ended getting frustrated because they kept chipping, so I skipped straight to the Bergeons. A middle of the road set is probably better idea so you can decide if you really like it and want to upgrade. For some of the gear it doesn’t matter too much, like the presto tool and the ink pots. The things I ended up splurging on were the screwdrivers, oilers, movement holder, loupes, and tweezers. I started out with cheaper versions, but quickly realized I loved watchmaking and wouldn’t mind having better tools.

My neighbor had a beauty and the beast one like that. I hated staying at her house because it was so loud when it went off in the morning. I had an electronic cat clock that played a bugle.
