🔧 What it does & how to use

A pivot reaching tool (pivot locator) is a clockmaker's aid used when putting a movement back together after servicing. As the plates are brought together, the pointed end of the tool is used to locate and guide a pivot into its hole in the opposite plate, holding it steady and correctly aligned while the plates are closed up. This avoids bent pivots or jammed wheel trains caused by trying to line up pivots blind, and speeds up reassembly of mantel and wall clock movements. It's a simple hand tool suited to both hobbyist repairers and professional clockmakers, and needs no power or setup — just steady hands and a bit of practice locating each pivot in turn.
