I understand that Bergeon 7825 is best tool but works mostly for Rolex, so looking for Bergeon 6825 and Horofix is the same version of 6825.

I'd get the 6825 then.

If you need to tape the lugs when using springbar pliers then you aren't using them properly. I didn't specifically mention the case, as a broken tip will most likely scratch the endlink or bracelet but the case is also at risk as you'd lose your grip. Why risk it?
I've used Bergeon for years and have never had a broken tip, but I'm always happy to hear about other quality tools. What would you suggest?
