What it isA tool in its own right
Bench jobWorking on the movement

This 0.50mm screwdriver handles the smallest movement screws on the bench. We fit an orange swivel head so the driver is recognized on the rack without checking the blade under magnification. The knurled barrel gives your fingertips purchase while the forefinger rests flat on the cap.

Orange swivel cap

The orange synthetic head turns freely while the forefinger holds down the driver. It marks the 0.50mm size at a glance on the bench mat or in a revolving stand.

Parallel blade profile

We grind the 0.50mm flat blade with parallel faces rather than a tapered wedge. The flats seat straight to the floor of narrow screw slots on small bridges and balance cocks.

Knurled barrel grip

The knurling runs along the metal barrel to stop your fingers from drifting during delicate assembly. The barrel remains narrow to leave screw heads visible from above.

Replacing the blade

A set screw on the side of the ferrule clamps the blade in place. Back it out to slide a notched or dressed 0.50mm blade into the barrel.

Reading a catalogue number

What the parts of a Bergeon reference number mean, why the number is how a tool is asked for, how a suffix marks a size or a variant of the same family, and how to find the spare blade for a handle you already own.

Choosing a blade width

Why a screwdriver is chosen by the width of its blade rather than by its name, what happens to a screw head when the blade is a step too narrow, how the blades are stepped through the range, and how a worn blade is dressed or swapped.
