A guy I worked with let me borrow his Bergeon Wenger 16109. Pretty handy set of tools in a small package. So far I have used it to add a link back to my bracelet and swap the leather strap back to the original bracelet. Fit on the SteelFish is much better now. :D

I figure I might as well buy one of these unless you all have some other recommendations.

There seems to be a big difference in price between these two and I don't easily see any functional differences, just a different body. Is there any differences I am missing?

I have the red one that you posted, it's called a minathor or a Swiss army micro-tool. I love it!!! They sell for around $100. I also have a super rare, only a few known to exist, minathor from Breitling. It's just like the red one except it's yellow and has breitling's logo on it.

If you want to save a few bucks you can just get a Bergeron 6767-f for around $20.

I have one of those...just showed up yesterday in the mail. Perfect for changing the strap or moving the micro adjust on the clasp. Hard to beat at $14. Reading about the knife they say some "tool box" slots are empty and you can buy different Bergeron tools to fill it up. Should I just look around for a few small screw driver tips (what size for Breitling links) and go with my 6767. It has a great build quality, very nice tool. Wondering how often I would use the knife blades, corkscrew, etc. I do like how the handle for the tools has a slot that engages the tabs on the tool versus screwing the tip into the Bergeron 6767. I can't see my carrying that knife around in my pocket.

You will need a 1.6mm or a 1.8mm Bergeron screwdriver to size your bracelets. You can pick them up for about $15-$20 each. I bought an entire set of Bergeron screwdrivers for around $100 and it was well worth it. The minathor is cool but you'll probably get more use out of the 6767-f and a Bergeron screwdriver set.

Here's a cool set for $98
