Eyeglass Adjustment Tools

Hold me. Hold me tight.

There are two reasons for owning this plier. The compression fixture has to be held rock solid when you need to adjust the temple or bridge. Adjusting the temple or bridge puts pressure on the drilled holes which can crack the lens. There needs to be equal pressure on both sides of the fixture for absolutely safest results. That is why our Delrin plastic jaw, for the minus side of the lens, pivots to match the base curve. 

Replacing the compression tubing is the other reason to have this plier. The Delrin plastic jaws are dual grooved to cradle the metal and plastic components, on either axis, for even, consistent pressure to drive the posts into the tubing. Opens extra wide for thick lenses.

Insider Info from Joshua

"I designed the first (and still the best) plier for working with compression rimless mountings. Basically, everyone else has a less functional knockoff. Our big feature is a pivoting pad. The pad that goes on the minus side of the lens pivots to match the back side base curve. If you are attempting to grasp the fixture to hold it steady while you adjust the temple the entire fixture and lens must be secured. The key is even pressure front to back. As the pads on other pliers don’t pivot, the fixture is only being held at the thickest point on the lens. This makes it much easier to inadvertently crack the lens at the drilled hole." 

Squeeze me. Harder.

Constructed to withstand the extra hand pressure necessary when assembling compression rimless frames. Stationary super tough Delrin plastic jaws are multi-grooved to cradle the metal and plastic fixtures on either the horizontal or vertical axis, minimizing the risk of slipping and scratching the lens. Comfortable finger-bracing handle is designed for squeezing all day long.

Ready. Set. Snip.

You have replaced the plastic tubing in a compression rimless. Excess tubing is extending beyond the lens surface. Cutting the bushing down close to the lens will produce a tighter and stronger compression fit. Using a razor poses a danger to both fingers and lenses. Instead, reach for this plier to safely trim tubing. Rounded jaws prevent scratching the lens. 5mm wide head. Use only on plastic compression rimless tubing.

Align. Extract. Exhale.

Extracting the barbed post and tubing from a compression rimless lens can be disastrous. Especially if you are dealing with a high plus, thin lens edge. With this parallel action plier you can easily and safely do the extraction. This simple to use tool requires gentle effort to delicately push out the post and tubing from the holes. Will not mar lens or frame. Pins pivot easily to accommodate horizontal and vertical mounting systems. Optional single pin holder available.

There are two ways to remove the barbed post and tubing on a compression rimless mounting.

You can push it out or pull it out. This plier is for pulling. The ultrafine jaws slip under the fixture and around the posts so you can extract the assembly safely from the lens. Prevents lens breakage that results from attempting to extract the post and tubing using only your fingers.

Ready. Set. (Don’t) Crack.

“Drill through” rimless eyewear are scary to adjust. If you don’t solidly support the screw/fixture/nut assembly when adjusting the temple or bridge, the lens will crack. With this plier you can fearlessly adjust a screw and nut rimless. Our Delrin plastic jaw has a channel that holds the screw head. The opposing slotted metal jaw securely grips the retaining nut. With the mounting fixture held firmly, you can safely, but cautiously, make your adjustments.
