    This has probably been asked quite a few times but I didn't find anything using search. Any recommendations for a pre-built beginners tool kit?

    I have a few odds and ends I have acquired but I would like to get a more comprehensive tool kit to really allow me to service a watch.

    cousinsuk.com sells ready made kits, & other materiel suppliers will, as well.

    I think most hobbyists & watchmakers you talk to will have accumulated a wide array of tools from many different sources over time. Probably worth spending the extra $ early for good quality watchmaker's screwdrivers & tweezers, save yourself from buying them twice.

    Thank you for the suggestions, I am in the US but I will keep an eye out for something like this.

    That's maybe the only man who could get my stepson interested in watches.
