Best screw driver to remove strap links please

What’s the best screwdriver to remove links from bracelets. I read in a thread awhile back and can’t locate it....I’m almost sure it was a bergeon and was a particular size that reduced the risks of scratching the screw/pin head.....I’ve a cheaper one at the moment that does the job, would like a real good quality one.

Any help appreciated

I use Bergeron but the size varies by the bracelet model you’ll be working on.

I recommend getting 2 screwdrivers - a 1.4 & 1.6 mm - plus extra tips.

You can buy just the screwdriver bit for not a lot of money.
As said earlier, you need to find the correct size.
I bought a Horotec hollow ground one - I'm not skilled in dressing screwdriver bits, and I found that style to be the safest to use "out of the box".
I think the Rolex bracelet kit uses hollow ground bits.

Edit - couldn't find it earlier, but this will tell you everything you need to know, including the correct screwdriver sizes:-
