Yes, they are handy. I think you could probably make something similar though by taking a pair of pivot straightening tweezers and grinding down the end. The drill a hole near the tip for the safety roller and file a couple of tiny notches on the tips to hold the roller jewel. I’ve got a pair of these tweezers. Yes, they are handy.

Does anyone here know of a watchmaking correspondence course worth looking in to? I live in the DFW area in north Texas, and except for rumours of a Cartier school near the airport there don't seem to be any commutable options. You can read the 'Hackers' adaptation, titled 'Clockers' at http://www.xorph.com/clockers/clockers.html . It is highly entertaining.
