Reply To: New Person – Camera instead of a loupe and…Screwdrivers

[watchfixer]

I went out shopping yesterday for screwdrivers, what a disappointment! The smallest that I could find was only 1 mm. I need to find a place that sells the smaller ones individually. I’m amazed how small the screws are in the watch that I want to repair first. How in the world does someone actually make something that small? I bought some loupes also, the most powerful is 10x. I have an impossible time trying to make it stay on. I guess I will have to modify the set to having a headband to keep them stay on at my eye. Repairing on such a small scale is harder than it looks! Just trying to get any screw to turn has been a challenge, and so far, none will. Is it normal to sharpen the blades of the screwdrivers? It seems like none of them fit at all.
