Insider Info from Joshua

"This product was a 'no brainer' when plastics started to approach aluminum in strength. Aluminum drivers have to be machined whereas these are injection molded with a super strong grade of nylon. Same durability as aluminum handles and takes the same highest grade blades. Saves you money without any sacrifice in functionality."

Stainless steel and high temperature Delrin plastic are combined for ease of use and long life.

Spring loaded to simplify insertion and removal of lenses. 7" long.

You need to check if a lens is going to fit the eyewire but you’re done sacrificing your finger tips trying to pinch the barrel closed. Instead of squeezing the eyewire and wrestling the eyewire screw into place, reach for the Eyewire Closing Plier, aka “sizing plier”. The pointed jaws fit securely into the eyewire barrel so you can comfortably draw the eyewire snug around the lens.

Stop Popouts.

You have a lens that keeps popping out of the eyewire due to a mismatch between the base curve of the lens bevel and the eyewire. Using your fingers to reshape the eyewire is almost a guarantee that it will crimp. Instead, use this plier to gently and firmly reshape the eyewire curve. It is also safe to use on slightly warmed plastic frames. Our exclusive screw-free Delrin plastic pad eliminates the hassle of replacing screw-on type pads and the possibility of the metal screw marring the frame.

Insider Info from Joshua

"We make a lot of products in our facility in Santa Fe and I’m not much for sitting in front of a computer screen. Often I am out building displays or Hot Boxes, using a lot of hand tools. Now that the Social Security Administration is sending me monthly checks, my hands aren’t able to grasp a straight shaft screwdriver like they used to. Ouch! So, I took our TruBlue driver and some modeling clay and gave it wings so I could hold it more comfortably and give it a good amount of torque. That worked so well I had to make several more for each member of the crew. Then I made them in colors for you and then, the US Government gave me a patent."

Lock onto metal temples with the opposing grooves in the jaws to make adjustments. The recessed holes in the jaws protect the hinge screw.
