From the King of the Great Deals:
OK if you have a Harbor Freight near you ( www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/retail_stores.taf ) it is worth the short trip: I spent about $20 for the Complete set below: ( the sale ends 11/28/05)
I used to worry about the quality of the tools but unless you are paying big bucks for bergon it is probably the same supplier as %95 of the e-bay sellers, Plus if you enter the word "watch " into the search window it will bring up many more watch tools available (including the spring bars that I mention at the bottom) I know that the tools list is incomplete with out a bracelet tool, but many of the Items I have seen on e-bay that after auction you get close to $20 with S&H so this was a great deal for me.
For those intrested in polishing your watch $8.00 plus a little rubbing compound your in bussiness ( I bought it just for the accessories) or you could spend $30 at HD or $100 for a cordless rechargeable.
