Watchmaker screwdriver

Watchmaking is a sector that stands out for its number of small parts and the precision that has to be in each of them so that each of the 3 hands that make up the hours, minutes and seconds work properly. For all this coordination to be ideal, the mechanism must be assembled with specific tools. For this we can find the watchmaker’s screwdrivers or also known as precision screwdrivers. The precision screwdrivers stand out for having a tip of a particularly small size and thus be able to make each of the necessary repairs without any problem. In addition, if you are looking for a professional watchmaker’s screwdriver, it is recommended that it has a rotating dial on the back in order to be able to work more comfortably.

What is a watchmaker’s screwdriver?

A watchmaker’s screwdriver is a specific tool for this sector that stands out for having a specially small tip to be able to manipulate the components of a watch. Depending on the type of watch we want to manipulate, we will need one type of tip or another.

Types of watchmaker’s screwdriver

As we have mentioned, watchmaker’s screwdrivers are tools with a particularly small tip. For this we can find 4 different types of screwdriver tips:

Flat:

Precision flat tip screwdrivers have the same shape as normal flat tip screwdrivers, but in this case the tip size can vary between 1mm and 2mm.

PH – Star:

In the same way as flat screwdrivers, precision PH screwdrivers have the same shape as a regular PH screwdriver, but with an extremely small tip. In this case we can find PH00, PH0 and PH1 size tips.

TX:

TX screwdrivers are a type of bit that is gaining more and more strength in the industry due to the properties they have when working, but their entry in watchmaking is less than in other sectors. In the market we can find different sizes of precision screwdrivers ranging from TX4 to TX20.

Socket:

We can say that socket screwdrivers are the least used tool in the watchmaking sector. Among the different sizes we can find them between 3.2 and 5.5mm.    

Who uses watchmaker screwdrivers?

As we have already mentioned, watchmakers use precision screwdrivers to do their jobs. These are screwdrivers with a very small tip to be able to manipulate the small components that we can find in a watch. But at the same time these screwdrivers can be used by jewelers or other trades that need to manipulate very small parts.
