Small parts and cleaning baths are a risky combination — one jewel or spring lost to the bottom of the tank is one too many. This 45mm fine-mesh basket keeps screws, springs and jewels captive during ultrasonic cleaning whilst the solution passes freely through the weave.

The basket is woven stainless steel in two hemispheres; a squeeze of the scissor-action, spring-loaded handle opens it for loading and retrieval, and the long stem keeps your fingers clear of the solution. It is made for full submersion in a standard ultrasonic bath, and closes securely enough to trust with the smallest components of a movement or repair job.

  • Woven from fine stainless steel mesh to retain the smallest components.
  • Spherical 45mm basket provides ample room for multiple small parts.
  • Long, spring-loaded handle allows for safe placement and retrieval from cleaning solutions.
  • Simple scissor-action handle opens the basket hemispheres with a single squeeze.
  • Designed for full submersion in standard ultrasonic cleaning baths.

Common questions at the bench

Is this safe to use on a vintage watch?
Our case holders, spring-bar tools, and movement holders are designed for vintage and modern watch handling. Soft-jaw inserts protect plated bezels. For one-piece sapphire crystals and brittle dials, slow down and check the description for material limits.
What screwdriver size fits my watch?
Most modern watch movements use 1.0–1.6 mm screwdriver tips. Vintage Swiss often runs 0.8–1.2 mm. Our screwdriver sets cover 0.5–3.0 mm in 0.1 mm increments — you will use 4–6 sizes regularly. Hollow-ground tips grip the screw slot without slipping.
Why do I need a demagnetiser?
Modern phones, magnetic clasps, and stray fields from speakers magnetise watch movements, causing time-keeping drift. A 30-second pass through a demagnetiser fixes most cases. A £20 desk demagnetiser pays for itself within the first time you would otherwise pay a watchmaker to diagnose it.
Can I work on a Rolex or other high-end piece?
These tools are bench-grade and suitable for hobbyist and professional watch repair. For warranty-affecting work on serial-tracked luxury watches, always check whether intervention voids your warranty before opening. We cannot verify what is appropriate for every brand.
