Features & Function

Swiss Made: Manufactured by Bergeon, a top Swiss watchmaking tool brand, ensuring high quality and professional standards.

Material: High‑quality stainless steel (typically 410 or 430), offering good elasticity, corrosion resistance and wear resistance.

Length: 120mm – comfortable to hold, precise force control, suitable for prolonged fine work.

Tip type: 7028‑1 has straight tips, approximately 0.1‑0.2mm wide, ideal for gripping very small components.

Finish: Mirror polished or satin finish to reduce glare and visual fatigue.

Elasticity and alignment: Precision heat‑treated for proper spring tension; tips close perfectly aligned without offset.

Anti‑magnetic: Stainless steel has low magnetic permeability, safe for sensitive electronic components.

Aftermarket advantage: Bergeon tweezers are the industry standard, offering long service life for professional users.

Important Notes

⚠️ Precision tool: The tips are very delicate. Excessive force or dropping may bend, break or blunt them.

⚠️ Rust prevention: Stainless steel can still rust in humid environments. Wipe dry after use and store in a dry place. Apply a trace of anti‑rust oil if necessary.

⚠️ Demagnetising: Although stainless steel tweezers have low magnetism, prolonged exposure to strong magnetic fields may magnetise them. Use a demagnetiser if needed.

⚠️ No heavy work: Do not use tweezers as levers, cutters or screwdrivers – this will permanently damage the tips.

⚠️ High temperature: Keep away from flames or soldering irons; heat can alter the metal’s spring temper, causing loss of elasticity.

⚠️ Genuine product: This is an original Swiss Bergeon tool. Genuine tweezers have “Bergeon Swiss Made” stamped on them and symmetrically ground tips.

FAQ

Q1: Is this tweezer suitable for handling hairsprings?
A: Yes, but with extreme care. The 7028‑1 tips are suitable for gripping the hairspring stud or the spring‘s outer end, but direct gripping of the hairspring coils can cause deformation or sticking. Consider using non‑magnetic alloy tweezers for hairspring work.

Q2: What if the tips rust?
A: Gently polish the rusted area with fine sandpaper (1500‑2000 grit) or metal polishing paste, then clean thoroughly and dry. Wiping dry after each use prevents rust.

Q3: Can these tweezers be used for soldering electronic components?
A: Yes, but not for directly holding hot solder joints. Stainless steel conducts heat quickly, which may burn your fingers or damage components. For high‑temperature soldering, use dedicated ESD or ceramic tweezers.

Q4: How to tell genuine Bergeon tweezers from counterfeits?
A: Genuine Bergeon tweezers are engraved with “Bergeon Swiss Made” on the handle or shank. The tips are symmetrically ground, opening and closing smoothly with even spring tension. Counterfeits typically lack the engraving, have rough tips and feel gritty when opening.
