You will probably discover difficulty in finding staking tool manuals. The original 1910 K&D book – Staking Tools and How to Use Them is hard to come by. You will find numerous titles under that name and even reprints. The reprints are either catalogs from the 1950’s or the latter 108 of the original 163 pages. Those smaller books lack important information. Even so, they are also hard to find and high priced.
The NWCCA Library has a copy of the original 1910 K&D book, but will not lend it out. You have to visit their Library and read it there.
The original 163 page book is now available in pdf form on eBay.
Many watchmakers and enthusiasts find ample information in Henry Fried’s and Donald De Carle’s books, but neither focuses on the staking set itself.
I gathered pdf’s of the 1910 partial reprint and additional catalogs and user manuals. You can download them here.
