Spring bar removal tool problem

Hello guys,

I recently bought a spring bar removal tool from eBay that came with several needles with different sizes. It is exactly the same as Bergeon 6825, however I can't seem to fit the needle in the springbar.. The space to access the bracelet springbar is smaller than the needle width.. This in a 126710 BLRO.


There's a pair of needles with supposedly 1mm that I can fit inside the gap of a 16610 SUB to access the springbar however it is super tight, it feels as if I need to force it a little bit for it to enter. On top of that it doesn't sit flush on top of the spring bar, feels like if I start to pull it it will slip at any moment and the spring bar will fly across the room..

Am I doing anything wrong or something? Picture of the different needles in attach.

Thank you!

Take a small file and give it a few strokes

Like the man said: get a locksmith file and file away until it fit.

That is what I did for my bergeon

What bergeon do you have? I was planning on buying one to fix this problem but don't want to end up buying another tool with the same issue

This is the one, an original Bergeon.

You need a tip smaller than 1.4mm if I recall. You should have the correct tip if that is the set you bought.

Not sure about that tool you have, Bergeon 7825 is the one I have that fits perfectly. I believe the Bergeon 6767-F will also work (but harder to use as its not the tweezer style). I think the tips on these are 1mm.

The Bergeon 7825 Spring Bar Tweezer is the correct tool for the job.
