This looks like a good tool. Let's give it a try. Thanks for sharing!

Otto Frei has a nice set made in France with replaceable tips including the rotating base for $56

awesome screwdriver set peter

Great channel I hope all has eased in Florida with the hurricane..

Great video all sold out thanks for information

They are sold under a number of brand names. These screwdrivers work quite well indeed. Ignore the insecure critics who think they need to hide behind an expensive brand.

@@occamsrazor3128 I found the seller your talking about on the UK ebay a set of 7 cost £10....not an exact match but similar look are they any good?

Bought the set.The 3rd smallest size bent/ twisted while using.Admittedly,was on a stuck screw that held a spring down in a 50 year old watch.Could NOT get the screw out so had to stop at that point since it was holding down the movement works gear.I used two of the other sizes and they performed well..........on screws that were NOT stuck.....same watch.( seconds hand works but hour and minutes hand do not move except when adjusting with crown......loose canon pinion suspected......just could not get to it to crimp it tighter. I will be able to repair the tip of the driver with a sharpening stone.......just was disappointed it bent as easy as it did.😕

I see you have a microscope, it would have been nice to see really close up side by side. But thanks for the tip!

When you click the link, the brand is not Armway, they are Optima and currently unavailable as well. I sure would love to buy the Armway drivers.

I bought these after seeing your video. Hands down they are as good if not a little bit better my bergeon 360 bucks for half the price and a more complete selection

They are pavoned harden steel? What's your opinion vs stainless steel ones?

I bought a $9 dollar set of Chinese screwdrivers and replaced the blades with broken drill bits that I annealed. Works well. Blades are very hard and hold their shapes well. No point on wasting money.

Do these say "made in France"? I have a set of Eurotool from Esslinger and it was 6 for $22 and they seem well made. They appear to be identical in the same blue pouch that are sold as A*F Switzerland.

Esslinger has a bunch on their site… I’m looking at some right now.

It’s easy for Chinese companies to replicate these screwdrivers. They look the same, but the steel quality is subpar.

Amazon link says brand/model is Optima 55-640 is that correct? Might you have a new link to where they are available?

I suspect Burgeon has told them to stop selling their own product under their own name...as it's taking sales away from Burgeon...gotta love dirty business.

China makes low quality but it also makes high quality, but because of branding it’s difficult to know which is which

Link is dead. Do you know where I can source these or a comparable set?

Hi. The link is no longer valid. Do you have an update please?

Where are they made?

New link?

Thank you very much for your help. I’m not rich, I bought really cheap ones and they are total crap. Made out of dog food tins I think.

Amazon says they are no longer available......

are they sold under a different brand/model # in 2022? i can't find these on Amazon or in stock elsewhere!

The following set has lasted me over twenty years. amzn.to/3kutgP9

I bought a set of these right after breaking a Bergeon tip. They were just as much garbage as the Bergeon's. I need to find a 20+ years-old set to see if they are worth a damn. Alternatively, I am considering just machining my own tips and then hardening them.

no longer available...any other options ?

I bought these and and I was disappointed. The bearing on the top is gritty and causes resistance when turning. I broke a couple of tips fairly quickly unscrewing tight watch screws. I returned them because if these deficiencies, but was charged nearly a $40 restocking fee. I would not recommend them.

Pity theses drivers are no longer purchasable anywhere

Yeah but they ain't fly, my man. If these sit on my desk I do not think I'm cool, which I am. I feel like I made it when I get my Horotecs out. I no longer need to get less expensive screwdrivers.

Not sure I see the difference between cheap and pricey screwdrivers.If blades are hard and kept stoned properly then it should make no difference.

Out of stock. Bummer.

Didn't bother watching the complete video, as usual not stocked any more.....

@@hinokikuaimu The biggest issue isn´t where the part is made, it´s the testing and control and the devotion of the people that put the part together. Of course the labour is one part, cheap labour often means cheap product but not always. Today it´s almost impossible to know what is quality for a unknown brand. Almost everything is put together or made in China, company´s like the profit. If the part is made in Germany, France or Sweden the profit goes down.
