This is the Bergeon 6924 Screwdriver Sharpener. I have seen it for sale at prices between $450.00-530.00. It has 3 stones; two work simultaneously to sharpen the sides to the perfect curved radius while the third flattens the tip. At least in theory, this should produce the perfect screwdriver blade. I have seen one in person, and it is a beautiful tool, but I still couldn't justify that kind of money. If you pick one up, let us know how you like it. ![]() | ||

What an amazing piece of equipment that is! One highly respected watch repair professional once confided in me that he uses the relatively inexpensive screwdrivers. When I expressed my surprise he explained that after sharpening a few times he moves on to a new one. I use the Burgeon tools as they are easiest to use and help me minimize my slipups. With a tool like that even I would never commit a screwdriver related error. Put one of those on "Daddy's Wish List" girls! ![]() | |||

Seems like a lot of money just to sharpen a few screwdrivers. ![]() Larry | ||||

Yeah, but if this was your profession there would actually be savings realized over time. Plus, your screwdrivers would always have perfect edges helping to minimize "slips" and in building a reputation for doing precision quality work. ![]() | |||
