Description

A movement screw is 0.8 mm across and its slot is a scratch. Put a bit driver on it and you are holding a fat handle a long way from the work, with a magnet doing the aligning and no idea how hard you are pushing. The slot rounds out on the first turn and then the screw is a problem instead of a screw.

The swivel cap and knurled barrel

These are the other kind. One blade, one barrel, no bits.

Slotted and cross point blades

Why the top spins

The cap turns freely on a bearing. Your index finger sits on it and pushes straight down; the thumb and middle finger turn the knurled barrel. Downward pressure and rotation come from different fingers, so the blade stays in the slot instead of climbing out of it. That one detail is the whole reason watchmakers use this shape and not a handle.

The barrel is thin on purpose. You feel the screw bite, and you feel it stop.

A driver in the hand

What is in the set

Thirteen drivers in stainless steel, blades 0.6 mm to 2.0 mm, slotted and cross point. Each is 9 cm long — short enough to sit inside the hand rather than stick out past the wrist. A colored ring under each cap means the size you reached for last time is the size you find again without measuring.

Sets built to this pattern usually run eight slotted — 0.6, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0 mm — and five cross at 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8 and 2.0 mm.

The set in use on a watch movement

What it is for

Slotted and cross screws measured in tenths of a millimeter. For Torx, pentalobe, tri-wing or hex - phone backs and laptop cases - use the 55-piece bit set; the two do different jobs.

Where it sits on the bench

Next to the watch vise and the loupe. Hold the case, see the screw, turn the screw.

Delivery

About six days, free and tracked. This set ships from a warehouse inside the United States, so it is faster than the one-to-two-week notice at the top of the page, which covers the rest of the shop.

Ships within the US only.

30-day returns from the day it arrives. Return postage is yours, the price of the item comes back in full.

Free tracked shipping on every order to the United States, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, with no minimum. A few items ship to a shorter list of countries, and their page says so.

Orders leave within 2 business days. The delivery time for your country is shown under the price of each item. In the United States the Mini Drill Press, the lathes, the XYZ and XYZR micrometer stages and many of the tools ship from US warehouses and arrive in about a week or less. Items shipped from overseas take one to two weeks, a few larger ones two to four. You get a tracking number by email as soon as the parcel is scanned.

30-day returns from the day it arrives, unused and in its packaging. If it arrived damaged or faulty, we pay the return label. If you simply changed your mind, you pay the return postage and get the full price of the item back. Email support@arvonelle.com before sending anything back.

Do I pay tax or duty? In the United States, sales tax is added at checkout where your state charges it, and the total you see is what you pay. For Australia and New Zealand nothing is added at checkout. If a carrier ever asks you for a fee on one of our parcels, don't pay it: email us first and we sort it out.

What if a part breaks? For twelve months, tell us which part and we post a new one free. No return needed.

Can I cancel? Yes, within 24 hours of ordering, no questions asked.

How do I reach you? Write to support@arvonelle.com or use the chat. A real person answers within one business day.
