44
Cannon Pinion Tightening Toolhttps://amzn.to/49YRLwIYNThe part in the link is not a joke! It works much better than the purpose built tool - just use this with a smoothing broach through the pinion and you'll have much more control over the amount you tighten the pinion

NNOnly works with specific movements, but an interesting design I wanted to try out - works well with certain movements
69
Multi-Function Press - Bergeon 8745https://amzn.to/3DGJodmYNQuality tool, but I don't think I would've bought it if I didn't have a gift card balance. Overpriced for what it is, but it is well made and ensures that you can adjust bracelets without scratches.
