Clock Repair Tools











Needed Screwdrivers
The screwdriver needs to fit into the slot and also be close to the width of the screw head. If its to fat or to thin, or its not the same size as the screw head than the screw head will end up with tool marks or get stripped. Many of the antique clock movement plate screws are very hard to find replacements for. Be sure to always disassemble a clock movement into some sort of container so the parts will not drop or go missing. When to screws hit the floor they tend to bounce out of site never to be found again.
The magnetize / demagnetize tool is amazing, allowing screws to stay on the tips of the driver while aligning them with the mounting holes of the movement or part. It is hard to hold a screw into a threaded hole upright with fat fingers, while attempting to put the end of the screwdriver into the slot of the screw. The fingers get in the way and its frustrating, but with the magnetized screwdriver, the screw sticks to the end of the driver and gets aligned with the hole no problem. In fact when doing movement remounting there is many instances where it would be very hard to line up the screw with the screw hole without it. So below we offer the perfect screw drivers with the magnetize / demagnetize tool, no hunting around or trial and error in finding them.
