I saw this roller jewel tool listed in one of the discussions. Does anyone where I can buy one of these tools? Might save me an hour or two of squinting and cursing. Thanks

Have you tried Esslingers, they sell tools and material.

I want one too. I'm really getting into jewel repair and staffs in over 6s pocket units and will buy any tool I can afford and use.

I looked around Esslinger's website for half an hour with no luck. I'll keep looking.

John,

You don't need it, the spring will fight against you and first time the roller move will fire it off in to hyper-space, a good pair of well maintain tweezers and a gentle touch are your best friends.

I'll look for these. I've made due without them so far, but I just wondered if there was a better way of doing it. Thanks again for the help.

Wayne,

Do you know where they might be available? I've done an internet search and can't find these
tweezers any where.
