Cleaning Tools & Supplies

Dust blowers are a quirky, personal thing. Some people just wouldn't be without this first quality unit. It's also roll-resistant on the bench.

FB-300
$24.95
 

This is the dust blower I use, and I can't tell you why I prefer it. Perhaps it seems to give a bit more control over the strength of the puff. It will roll on the bench, so keep it in a dish when you're not using it.

FB-301
$16.00
 

It sure sounds like a good idea, but I haven't personally seen one yet. I'm going to get one and give it a try.

The glass bristles feed with a twist of the pen top and are useful for a variety of tough cleaning tasks, including rusty parts and electrical contacts. This pen can also be used to put a matte finish on a high gloss croc strap by very gently brushing the surface.

FB-303
$13.60
 

The brush on this pen is fed by pushing the clicker at the top of the pen. This thin brush (1.7 mm diameter) is perfect for many small tasks. Like the larger pen, this is a Bergeon, Swiss-made tool.

FB-304

This and the FB-307 are about as elegant as you can get for storing hairspring cleaner, cleaning fluids or other solutions. This is a top-notch 60 mm diameter dish. Bergeon ref. # 30514-060

FB-306
$58.90
 

This jar is of the quality of FB-306, 60mm diameter, and a knob on the lid. Bergeon ref. 30513-060

FB-307
$85.95
 

This is an essential for all watchmakers: 1000 sheets of lint-free, anti-tarnish 4 1/4” paper per box.

FB-308
$8.50
 

Rodico brand cleaning putty is something the watchmaker should never run out of. In addition to it's ability to clean small parts, it is useful for wiping bridges and plates of excess oil, dust, and debris, and for 1,000 other uses: holding parts, fishing lost parts out of crevices, standing things up, and lying them down. Rodico is as an excellent cleaning material and is as useful as your imagination. This is a package of two bars.

FB-309

These high-quality, Swiss-made cleaning baskets are the standard for holding parts in mechanical or ultrasonic cleaners. The finest parts will not fall out of the basket. Depending on the watch, two to four are needed for a complete watch. This small size is particularly useful for escape and balance parts, small screws, etc. I use several of these in my ultrasonic cleaner. Don't be fooled by cheap Indian-made imitations, as they are not as functional or nicely made.

The Selvyt cloth is a high quality, English-made polishing cloth, excellent for wiping watch cases and draining watch parts that have been cleaned. These cloths are durable and can be washed when dirty. 10 x 10 inches.

FB-313
$7.60
 

This anti-static brush drains off static charge, and wipes away dust and lint. The delicate bristles will not damage the dial or hands. Follow this with a few puffs from your blower. Although I generally observe the practice of never touching a dial with anything, sometimes this seems to be the only way to get a dial immaculate before recasing it--especially a black dial.

FB-315
$19.95
 

Like the FB-315, but in a smaller size.

FB-316
$9.95
 

This is a one gallon bottle of what many consider the finest cleaner available for ultrasonics. I use this solution in my ultrasonic cleaner in half-full 250 ml Pyrex jars. The results are excellent. This is an ammoniated, flammable cleaner, so use it carefully and with good ventilation. This product can now be shipped as a OMR-D item, it can only be shipped by UPS ground in the contiguous 48 States. If you order this product your order will be shipped by UPS ground service.

FB-330
$35.00
 

This is the ideal companion to the L&R Cleaning Solution in a one gallon bottle. It will thoroughly remove any traces of cleaning solution. Use a first and second rinse. When the first rinse becomes dirty, replace it with the second and pour a new second rinse from the bottle. I run about five minutes in each of the two rinses. L & R Ultrasonic Watch Rinsing Solution can now be shipped as a OMR-D item, it can only be shipped by UPS ground in the continuous 48 States. If you order this product, your order will be shipped by UPS ground service.

FB-331
$39.00
 

This inexpensive plastic dust cover and tray may look like a cheese tray, but for the watchmaker, it means clean parts. The segmented bottom separates groups of parts.

FB-117

One dozen.

Pegwood is indispensable for the watchmaker for all kinds of cleaning and mechanical tasks (where steel tools might mar the movement). This is French orange wood, which provides minimal shedding. Five and three-quarter inch long, by 2 mm, about 25 sticks.
