As an amatuer watch repairer without an unlimited budget for tools I have been looking hard for tools that provide the appropriate level of value for their price. This balance tack hits the mark on that front. I am sure there are Swiss tools that justify their expense, but this is certainly not one, as tools like this one exist for a fraction of the cost and all the functionality and quality. This tack was nicely packaged in its own storage container with a cover for the narrow tip to prevent damage. The brass tapered shaft is machined and polished well. I would recommend to others looking for this style tool.
