Check out Offshore's shop: watchbitz. Lots of good quality, very well priced tools over there.

+1 to WatchBitz, both of you being in Australia should make it a no brainer.

If NATOs are among the straps you're interested in getting into, Gnomon also gives you a free springbar tool with a minimum order.

I picked up a watch tool kit from Harbor Freight by my house for like $5 on sale. Came with a case back opener, screw drivers, magnifier, some kind of strap tool that can remove spring loaded pins and a pin pusher and some tweezers all in a cheap plastic carry case. works great!

Maybe I can post links now?

the cheap stuff will break and then you will buy something better...

so better off in the long run buying the very reasonably priced kit from Watchbitz - I have had mine for a year or two and its great
