A must-have consumable for any watchmaker, clock repairer, or hobbyist, these watchmakers pegwood sticks are ideal for precision cleaning during servicing and repair.
Pegwood is widely used in watchmaking for cleaning pivot holes, watch jewels, pinions, and other delicate hard-to-reach parts where dirt, dried oil, and residue build up over time.
Because pegwood can be cut, angled, or sharpened to a fine point, it is ideal for detail work on delicate components without using metal tools directly on the part.
Available in bundles of 24, 48, or 72 sticks, making it a handy workshop consumable whether you need a small supply or larger bulk quantity for regular bench use.
Discounted bundle pricing available: 24 sticks £5.95, 48 sticks £10.95, 72 sticks £15.95.
Typical uses
- Cleaning pivot holes
- Cleaning watch jewels
- Removing dried oil and dirt from pinions
- Reaching tight spaces in movements and watch parts
- General precision cleaning during watch and clock servicing
Usage instructions
Cut or sharpen the end of the pegwood to the shape needed for the job. Insert or apply the tip gently to the area being cleaned, such as a pivot hole, jewel hole, pinion, or other recess. Twist or work the pegwood carefully to lift out dirt, dried oil, and residue. Trim back to a fresh clean tip as needed and repeat until the area is clean. Watchmaking guides specifically describe shaping the tip, using it to dislodge dirt and dried oil, and renewing the point as it becomes dirty.
They also are great for using with cleaning clay which we can also supply, a little dot of clay on end of the pegwood, and then can be used to pick up small hard to reach parts, as the parts will adhere to the clay.
