Anybody ever use one of these?

I searched for single screwdrivers in 1.8mm width (proper size?). but had a hard time finding just that size in a high quality single screwdriver.

This band holding tool from Bergeon appears to have a 1.8mm screwdriver integrated into it. And it looks like it would keep the band and screwdriver properly aligned.

Do we like it? Not like it?

That looks like overkill to me.

I've tried using a Bergeon 160 (1.6mm) from my set and it works fine as the 180 seems unavailable singly now.

If you buy a proper Bergeon (rather than a clone) and use it properly then you don't need anything to hold the bracelet while you loosen the screws, in fact I would rather not have anything holding it, I find it a lot easier to be able to maneuver things. Even when I am working on movements I tend to hold the movement rather than use a movement holder.

I also have the 1.60mm screw driver as I couldnlt find the 1.80mm available on its own either, works just fine.

Thanks Guys. I'll just keep it simple and go with the 1.6mm.
