Too many tools?
Hmmm 🤔three strap tools with the same function. Is this getting an addiction too? 🙈

I had the same issue, upgraded to the Bergeon, then I got the Horotec. Best one I’ve used.
Good question. I also have several but tend to keep going back to my Bergeron.
I actually need a good one. I use a cheap one I got for free from a watchstrap brand. The fork crumbled a bit at the end and the straight pin on the other side has bent 🤷🏼♂️ what recommended?
It's a tool, just like a fork is just a fork, names are hype, I have a Chinese made tool and it's been serving me well so far
I would say this perfectly captures the sentiment "should have just bought the Bergeon in the first place".

Buy another strap - free tool…
Bergeon is the Cadillac but I’m happy with my Uncle Seiko spring bar tool; it works well enough for entry level watch bands. Once I got my Tudor, I needed to upgrade to the tweezer style.

I need to upgrade mine. You prefer horotec over Bergeron?

I do, both are good, but I find the Horotec easier to use and it seems to manages to get between tighter spaces. I started with a couple cheap ones, some that came with straps, then one that came with a kit, then Barton, Bergeon, and I happened to grab the Horotec earlier this year and it is now my go to.
Note, I have the 7767 vs. the 6767, so I cannot compare to that one.
I got the bergeon twizzers, not fond of them. I find single use one are easier but the one I have, started bending. Need to upgrade.
Lol send one to me if u change ur mind, I don’t have one yet! 😉
It’s only an addiction if you admit it. 😇

If these tools are multiple brands I would agree, but all these tools use the Bergeon inserts haha.
Do you have a favourite one? I would like to buy some good watch tool!
